On Friday, the Spanish government announced it was to raise the marriage age from 14 to 16 to bring it into line with the rest of Europe.

Estonia now has the lowest marriage age in Europe with teenagers able to get hitched at 15 with parental approval.

Globally, the average legal age of marriage for boys is 17 and 16 for girls but many countries permit them, particularly girls, to marry much younger.

Several places, including the state of Massachusetts in the United States, allow girls as young as 12 to get married in "exceptional circumstances" with the consent of a judge.

But in many cases this is a leftover from an earlier age and is rarely tested. Many countries with low marriage ages do not have a particularly high number of under 18s getting married

Other countries only permit marriage among the young for certain groups. For instance, according to the US state department's humans right report on Trindad & Tobago from 2014, though the official marital age is 18 for men and women, Muslims and Hindus have a separate Marriage Act.

Muslims are permitted to get married at 16 for men and 12 for girls and Hindus at 18 and 14. The ages for Muslim marriage are shown in the table.

Meanwhile, Chinese lovebirds have to wait the longest, with men waiting until 22 and women until 20, due to Chinese population control policy that aims to limit the number of children a couple will have.

Note: The data is for the youngest possible age it is legal to get married with parental consent. Ages for legal marriage without parental consent will be higher.

Key:
* Varies between different states or regions within country, lowest permitted age shown
** Judicial consent needed, lowest age considered shown except for countries where there is no lower limit
*** Certain religious, cultural or tribal groups are permitted to marry younger, lowest permitted age shown
**** Sharia law

The data only shows the age at which it is legal to get married.

Many of these countries will either turn a blind eye to underage marriage or are struggling to crack down on it for a variety of reasons. Several other countries do not criminalise child marriage outright, the marriage is just considered invalid.

Many young girls are forced to become "common law wives" before they reach the age they can be legally wed.

In countries like India, where the legal age for marriage is 18 for women and 21 for men, the person who was a minor at the time has to file a complaint to get the marriage annulled. This limits the effectivness of the legislation.

In 2013, the country had an estimated 10m women aged 20-24 who had been married before they were 18, according to US Council on Foreign Relations.

According to the campaign, Girls Not Brides, one in three women in the developing world are said to be married before they turn 18.

In Niger, where the age of legal marriage for girls is 15, 76 per cent of girls are believed to be married before their 18th birthday

Girls Not Brides' executive director, Lakshmi Sundaram told the Independent: "A range of international treaties and conventions point to the need for setting a minimum age of marriage of 18. Most countries around the world have laws that set a minimum age of marriage.

"However even if the law exists, there are a number of reasons why they may be undermined. Pluralistic legal systems may prioritise customary or religious law over national law, exceptions may be granted upon parental consent or authorisation by the court and law enforcement officials maybe poorly trained or lack awareness of the minimum age of marriage.

"Furthermore, countries which lack birth and marriage registration systems don't have the adequate safeguards to protect girls from child marriage.

Yep, he is resigning at the end of October.

The man is a weaklin who suffers from excessive effeminate emotionalism. I saw him cry on TV before he was sworn in as speaker, like a baby whose candy has been taken away

No one is surprised.

The speaker of the united States house of representative is set to resign on the 30th of October
More details coming soon
WASHINGTON, Sept 25 (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, who has repeatedly been challenged by the conservative wing of his Republican Party, told members on Friday that he will resign from the House at the end of October.

An aide to Boehner, who holds the top job in the House, said the Ohio lawmaker will step down from the speakership and his seat in Congress effective on Oct. 30.

U.S. Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the No. 2 Republican in the House, is expected to be the top contender to replace Boehner as speaker, Republican Representative Peter King told reporters.

Boehner, 65, was expected to speak to reporters about 10 a.m. EDT (1400 GMT) about his resignation plan, CNN reported

Over the years I have come to realized that this forum is anti-northern forum were every lie and half truths are said about the good people of northern Nigeria. I'm not trained to say lies and spread hate against any group of persons but am very certain that many people have a date with the truth someday.

The north is not a monster or a ghost, so I really find it worrisome when people exhibit their northernphobia all over this forum. We are the most accommodating and hospitable people in Nigeria, the number of southerners doing their businesses freely and acquiring enormous lands in our region can clearly show how accommodative we are.

I think the owner of this forum, Mr seun have to do something about the northernerphobia threads that are flying around in this site. Sane northerners like myself don't really feel comfortable with all the lies about northerners that is daily been cooked up here.

With due respect, I use this medium as a source of raising alarm to reach the Nigerian Government. On behalf of the Nigerians based in Mexico, We have being trapped in bitter and powerless situation here in Mexico .Nigerians are forced to pay a sum of $650USD over N100,000!!! For a renewal of passport.


I’m aware that not all Nigerians here are capable to pay, The official at the embassy are uncultured and lack the qualities to be regarded as Nigerian Official abroad ,
Sadly only few have afforded the fees. They had no receipts issued, some documents are with-held, photos and all data info are being registered. However there are no evidence of such exercise as citizens are forced to rely on perpetual trust with the embassy; of which the embassy claims to have nothing to do with the said activity even though the claimed officers are carrying out such activities in it’s territory. Some Nigerians could testify to this odd discovery! The consulate Mr Barrao Emmanuel said its not his business while some fellow Nigerians named Tony, Mayor and Prince Ogadinmma established every plan with the authorization from Mr Barrao Emmanuel. ( who claims has no business in the act) Many Nigerians are heart broken and stranded as they have no means to comply with this mandatory arrangement. No hope to visit home nor a valid identity. Passports are being with- held. Receipts are not given.



Personal datas are being accessed by these fellow Nigerians whom we know nothing of their backgrounds. The officers do not respond nor interact with us. We are shunned and re-directed to these fellow Nigerians. All means to reach the Consulate and the ambassador during this “mischievous” act have being unsuccessful. We are informed that the Nigerian government refused to sponsor the passport team so we are forced to do so, as its our only means of renewal or we’ll have to wait for four more years.

Please Nigerian Government comes to our aid immediately. Sincerely

and he is now famous
