I am from cross river state, born and bred in lagos but sometimes when I look back to see the culture and tradition of my state, I feel so ashame.. It's a barbaric practice to bethrothe unborn and young children to old men in a state in the Niger-Delta. I hope the governor and parliamentarian representing the area provide modern solutions to the archaic and myopic problem the tradition may continually cause 1 Like 1 Share |

I strongly agree with you. I served there in 2014/2015. They still practice that tradition of money woman till now. Even older women who didn't get married marry young girls to bear them children who will answer the family name. Belinge, becheve even ranch are still backward in terms of Christianity, development and otherwise |

[it's real even if the young girl gets pregnant by another man the child she gave birth to will bear her husband name. This practice is real qauote author=Gvnl post=95043164]So an elderly man will see a girl young enough to be his daughter and lay with her. This is outrageous![/quote] |

something is not right about this story. if this is an ancient custom, how did they know a baby will be a girl so as to bethrote her while still in the womb? research has shown that arranged marriage leads to much fewer divorce and dis-harmony than "love marriages" just because you dont understand a culture does not mean its bad. Most of you claim to be bible believers....and even though the bible talks about child marriages, you still find this disgusting. This type of marriage is practiced even in the western world. 1. the US his a very high rate of child marriages 2.ask the queen of england how she got married. |
