Father Of 11 Asks Sharia Court To Compel Daughter To Get Married by yaroinside(op): 6:23pm On Jul 21
A father of 11, Lawal Hamisu, has asked Sharia Court II sitting at Magajin Gari in Kaduna State to compel his daughter, Fatima Lawal, to accept marriage after she allegedly rejected several prospective suitors.

Hamisu told the court that his daughter, who is of marriageable age, had consistently turned down marriage proposals despite repeated efforts by the family. He urged the court to intervene and direct her to choose a suitable husband.

According to the father, Fatima’s refusal to marry had become a source of concern for the family, prompting him to seek legal intervention through the Sharia Court.

In her response, Fatima opposed her father’s request, insisting that she could not be forced into a marriage against her wishes. She told the court she would only marry someone of her own choice when she is ready.

After hearing both parties, the presiding judge adjourned the matter to allow for further proceedings and possible reconciliation between the father and daughter.

The case has generated widespread reactions on social media, with many Nigerians debating the balance between parental guidance, religious customs and an individual’s right to choose a life partner.

Mehn, the female gender are at both ends of the spectrum in this country.
From 'extreme' feminism and misandry in some parts to repression, suppression, and misogyny in others.
Religion, culture, and wokism are responsible for shaping our ladies' mindset, so it's no surprise that feminism is at the forefront of many female movements these days!

Indeed.

Anyone wonder what "marriageable age" means here and why tye report was reluctant to mention what the actual age is.

I support early marriage but 11 is too young if she reach 14 or 15 when her body have come out. Is beta to marry Dan to be sexing up an down like most girls now
Re: Father Of 11 Asks Sharia Court To Compel Daughter To Get Married by Saladdin: 5:31pm On Jul 22
I understand that the man is frustrated as a parent, not doubt. However, while a parent ought to guide their wards from making mistakes when selecting a spouse, the ward, especially if female must NEVER be forced to choose someone against her will.

Force renders the marriage, null and void and many seem to estimate the consequences of force marriages. Islam is against force marriage, and that's why that court cannot rule in favour of the father.

The man should have sat her down, let her experience her preference in a spouse. Then ask her if she has someone in mind or if she'll be willing to be match made? I doubt this man took any of those steps.

In the east a girl child is a virtue most especially the first ADA. you will pay dearly as a husband to be . But in the north, once they develop breast they think they are wife material and could send them to parenthood at early age.

That is why a women opinion is zero in scheme of things In the north.
Women taking decisions in northern community at large is hard to find
