Isn't this the point? I've always maintained 'The average black man is a poor scholar'. Yet, some individuals would stand on 'poorly-understood' points to advertize their absolute lack of knowledge to the world. |

superstar1: I think the child right act as clearly stated 18 to be the age of consent for marriage. The only problem with its enforcement is that it has not been domesticated in all states of the country. I also think this new law will really make it more difficult for anybody to marry a girl that is under 18. If it is now illegal to sleep with a girl under 18, marrying a girl under 18 will technically be illegal since sex is inevitable in a marriage. My opinion though. |

This is one of the major reasons why I don't comment on posts if am not convinced that I should comment on it. There are lies,deceit and propaganda flying around this days and you need to be well enlightened, up to date, informed, aware, involved,free from influence, non partisan even in the midst party politics. Nigerians should take this information as a lesson and try to verify, compare, reason, criticize and even listen to others opinion before commenting or airing their views. Thanks. |

seunmsg: You are absolutely right on the first point you made, but not necessarily the second. As far I know (and I stand to be corrected); in much the same way that the amendment under discussion allows circumvention of the law concerning "age of consent", for those with the creative mien and financial wherewithal necessary, so do our subsisting laws on marriage. Thanks to a legal loophole, the average age of marriage for girls in Kebbi State, northern Nigeria, is 11 years old. The law is often manipulated and exploited for perverse ends, but it's rare that one forgotten detail in legislation can affect an entire mass of people quite so profoundly.

seunmsg: Note the words being used by the Act -- Unlawful carnal knowledge and defilement. For stated that have not adopted the Child Right Act, most especially the northern states, they will never adopt it again. FOr the ones that have adopted it, having sex under whatever guise with under 18 is now criminal. |

Re: Chris Anyanwu's Bill Did Not Set 11 Years As The Age Of Consent (to Sexual Acts) by EzeRedd(m): 6:00pm On Jun 07, 2015 |
Nice work op. From reading the bill what I have gathered is that 1. as long as a girl is under the age of 18 there is nothing like consent. 2. Defilement isn't the same as rape. It includes rape and mutual consent.meaning that as long as the girl in question is below 18, the perpetrator will be prosecuted without considering whether d female party agreed.(many guys go enter gobe with dis one). That being said my, problem with the bill is that why didn't it just state that any act of sex with a girl under the age of 18 comes with life imprisonment, why was it divided into 11, 16 and 18 with the same life imprisonment sentence. Can anybody explain this. |
