Borno Lady Takes Her Life After Being Forced Into Marriage By Her Father by Morbeta11(op): 7:23am On Oct 21, 2025

Story: A young girl tragically ended her life on Sunday evening, shortly after her father forced her to marry his old friend in Borno State.

Apparently, she was in great emotional distress after pleading with her father that she was in love with someone else.

The father insisted they must proceed with the arranged marriage, her family supported. Meaning she must end the relationship with her boyfriend and cut all communications.

According to analyst, Zagazola Makama, the emotional pressure and pain put her in great distress, pushing her to commit sui/cide on Sunday evening around 6pm.

The situation was described as deeply unfortunate and heart breaking.

A local child protection volunteer Bukar Fantami Gubio, confirmed the incident and called on human right groups, authorities to investigate the matter and try to put an end to forced marriage in the region.

Happened in Gubio Local Government Area of Borno State.

Too bad! Dictating for an adult whom he or she should marry is as bad as child marriage. I don't support it.

But suicide has no justification. She killed herself for a man. Has the man killed himself for her in reciprocation?

Why forcing people into marriage, some of these people called parents has caused a lot of problems for their children.

Well nobody or any idiot would try this within our family and succeed.

She should have ran away from the house to anywhere to restart life elsewhere. Why kîll yourself over unwanted marriage! What is wrong with this generation? How did sǔicide become an easy way out with little depression?

Your parents failed you.
It would have been better if they did not bring you into existence. But their selfishness pushed them into it. Rest well, you shall feel no pain again.

Marriage and religion shouldn't be forced on people, still doesn't understand why people like dictating for others to follow. Everybody has, his or life to leave. Leave your own and let me leave my own.

After all, the consequences of one action will fall on him/her

She probably got locked up to make sure she couldn't run away. The stupid father is probably smart enough to understand this.

Suicide is extreme, but so is murder.

Some girls kill the old goats that married them.

Which one is better, sef?

Suicide or murder?

So sad but she shouldn't have opted for suicide. It's a crime against God and it's punishable by eternal condemnation.

He should be arrested and jailed. I suspect he had borrowed money from his friend and couldn't pay. Don't trust these village people.

I don't agree with forced marriage but I don't also agree with disregarding other options presented to u just because u are in love with someone else who may or may not be a good match for u unless that has been established beyond ur emotional attachments.

my point is some girls fall in love with the wrong ones and get so attached to nonsense.

Then taking her own life over that is an extreme decision. I would rather she ran away or something else. Forced marriage is wrong and now the parents have learnt the hard way.

Self murder is still murder ,for whatever reasons just don't kill yourself. Life can turn off and on at any given opportunity...she should have waited for awhile and ran away from the old man house

Bad parenting. Yet some people will not blame the parents. They will blame her instead

What if the option presented to you has bad intentions or has/can harm you in private huh

In a layman sense, what if your “beloved betrothed” is a boko haram general huh
