My only issue here is the fact that the girl seen not physically matured given her smallish and fragile stature. Some girls at the age of 15 are already developed physically and ready for marriage. As far as I'm concerned, if a girl is physically grown at 15, has no one sponsoring her education and so on, she is very free to marry if a decent man comes for her. Though I wouldn't be the man, I think the whole idea of fighting against early marriage for girls is mostly driven by feminism and the "woke" mindset.

In no distant past, women got married from the age of 15 especially if such women had attained physical maturity at that age. As for the alleged health risks like VVF and cervical cancer, VVF is more about body structure maturity and many girls at that age have attained maturity in that regard and would comfortably birth children without VVF. It should also be remembered that VVF can happen as a result of medical errors during child delivery by untrained persons and to women who might even be older. On the other hand, the claim about the risk of cervical cancer is unfounded and not based on solid evidence!

This is me thinking out of the box and trying to separate facts from 'wokism' since I have many women who got married early and are doing fantastically well today health wise even after having many children. Some people here like pocohantas have accused me severally of having a fetish for small girls and all that but that wouldn't deter me from pursuing the fact rather than sheepishly following some unfounded and biased claims of feminists just to be seen as "woke".

NOETHNICITY:
Do you see how you avoided the point I made and immediately derailed the conversation to religion!

Which point did you make?

If the government had solved the problem of endemic poverty we wouldn't be talking about this situation. Just look at those people. I am sure the gave out the girl to ease the burden on themselves.
There are several children in the same situation. Hope the government also helps them.

Sonnobax15:

Let the girl child breath .

There are thousands grown women out there but the moment your gbola starts getting erection for a girl who's young enough to be your daughter,then it shows your head needs to be checked

how is 15 year old girl is old enough to be a daughter of 33 year old man? so its right for a man to father a daughter at just 18? nothing is wrong with that marriage. lots of 15years old r doing it with 40 to above men on daily basis

Enugu govt nullifies underage marriage

The Enugu State Government has nullified the underage marriage between a teenage girl, Precious Oyiga, aged 15, and an adult man in Enugu Ezike, Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area, Sopuluchukwu Odoh, who is 33 years old, after disturbing… pic.twitter.com/MRwp1hnAMF

ages increased overnight or these ones are different couples. The first report here said they were 30 and 13.

beardedboy:
This thread is about the East. Let's talk about the east on it. Don't generalise

I am not a tribalist

Let the culprits face the full wrath of the law. The 33 old man is your only son, then you would have looked for a mature girl for him. Girls of marriageable age are looking for husbands everyday. The greatest sickness in the entire life is poverty. I believe the girl comes from a poor family. The government will be blamed here. Basic education, which is primary and secondary ought to be free of charge. If a man wants his children to acquire tertiary education, let him pay for it.

It is a very annoying thing to do.

Go to the North you will see a 60 years old man with a 14 years old wife.

Ahmadolaniyi:
So many things is happening in d east behind d camera but if it is in d north they will started ranting not knowing they are worse than the north

Very true.

Child marriages are rampant, culturally acceptable and normalized in certain communities in Ebonyi and this same Enugu.

In Ebonyi, polygamy is also widely practiced and there's the ugly and unspoken taboo of incest marriage between siblings in Ebonyi.

How this marriage was contracted in the open in the community only shows its normal.

Its when pics of the ceremony made it to SM and got to the attention of the commissioner is why she acted.


In same SE, especially in Anambra there are brothels that are stuffed full of underage girls as young as 13 who were trafficked and work as sex slaves in the brothel. These particular type of brothel are the most visited and patronised.this what of the case of baby factories were young girls are coerced into only to be raped and held against their will until she gets pregnant and delivers a child which is then promptly sold and the mother kicked out?

Abuse of young girls is more rampant in the SE on so many fronts unlike in the north which is only in underage marriage.

In the SE, the girl child is exploited as a sex slave, abducted and used as baby making machine, house chore maid that is both physically, emotionally and sexually abused and in some instance hunted down for ritual purpose as we saw with IPOB abducting and sacrificing young girls for charms.

The girl child is most vulnerable in the SE than anywhere in the country.

Amend the laws NOW!!!

The court will eventually discharge and acquit them quietly

Age of consent is 13!!!

Enugu government doesn’t know law

Good, infact not only nulification pls criminalise it and made it a punishable offense with minimum of 5 years or more jail term. This nonsense must stop, we can not chose to be following the North in all social evil vices, we are never the same.

Mr governor ban it forever and make it a criminal offense. Nonsense.

Regina was 18 before Ned married her and Ned is of the Sahara Religion

destroyed him because he is an only child? That's a silly excuse.

Late Chief Gani Fawehinwi was the only child of his mother yet wasn't spoiled by his mother.

Tegucigalpa was 17 goingg 18 when Ned married her pls. Reg father is not dumb or a stack illiterate not to know her daughter real age so stop there. And Ned is not of any Sahara he is from the Anioma clan in Delta state no need to try to dodge reality because it pointed to your tribe.

This was exactly what Ezra Olubi was doing online ten years ago and felt he was catching cruise. Today, he has been sacked and disgraced for it.

He is preparing his own disgrace too. His own will not take as long as that of Ezra.

Enugu Ezike and Child Marriage nah 5 & 6. That is how one Ezeh Jerry Onydika family from Umuopu, Enugu Ezike nearly pushed her 16years daughter out to one guy and lied that she was 19yrs

madridguy:
Make i laugh small.. No activist from their region have taken vuvuzela since the news broke out. Let this happen in another region, they will be the first person to be crying around.

What do you want them to say?
Can them deny the majority of their mothers got married at that range? What do you want them to say.

If you serve in that place, you will understand fvcking underage is normally and acceptable to their culture. Mother will be telling you, Ebere is coming over, she doesn't mind if she sleep over.

Anyway, it rural benefits

NOETHNICITY:
But a girl of 15 can have multiple boyfriends, have sex, get pregnant and have kids or do multiple abortion.

This hypocrisy stinks

Are these your claims backed legally or just what you what you tell yourself? Are they child molesters in your region/religion?
