My Girlfriend Is Being Forced Into Marriage by Forced17: 8:22am On Feb 07, 2020
Good morning Nairalanders

This has been eating me up for days. Me and this girl have been together for 3 years now, she's 17 and I'm 19.

I accept all bashings for being in a relationship at this age, she's the last born though and we perfectly understand each other.

Now her father is forcing her to marry a man in Kaduna, she refused and the father threatened to throw her and her siblings including the mum out into the streets or send them to the village if she doesn't marry the man.

Now she hasn't even for days now and she's contemplating on taking her life and she just told me about this yesterday and this has brought me down so much. I don't know what to do, I need help. This is about her future, I don't want her to be forced to become a mother at 17 and living under a man she doesn't know.

She has only three weeks before the man comes to take her away.
My girlfriend is being sold into marriage and I don't know what to do.

I need help, I'm heartbroken��
I don't know who can help me push this to front page

in Islam parents are highly responsible for their children and wards under them. Pls allow the man do as he please, he isn't going to hurt his daughter. she is under his care and will account for her on judgement day. Pls don't spoil another man's family, u are only a random boyfriend who might eventually use,dump n spoil d innocent girls life.
I'm myself dating a Hausa lady and I know n accept that the father can chose to marry her out to any man he wish and I can't question that. Even though I love her, I'm not going to tell her to rebel against her parents. I repeat, don't spoil things for other ppl, u r not responsible for this girl and u can't change that. Cultures vary a lot, u can't impose ur cultural views on others

That's why her father thinks she's ready for marriage. She's got three years' experience. She'll learn the rest on the "job." cheesy

@OP Isn't there anyone else in her family who is enlightened and can step in talk to her father?

My guy, what you can do now is report to any organization in charge of girl marriage, or ministry of women affairs, or better still get her pregnant to spoil show for her father or you just leave family matter for them to solve. Nothing more you can do.

You've been dating her for 3years (since she was 14yrs) and she's the last, that means she must have been disobeying her father because of you and the man is fed up and wants her to marry since its man that is her problem. So you probably are the cause of her problem.

Well, creating a twitter account and crying for help there will attract the necessary public bodies to really around and help. I don't know if she will like that type of exposure though.


Plus if everything works out, she had better start looking for a job.

For a man to threaten to kick out his entire family because of one child, you should know that water don pass carry. Mind you I'm not supporting the man's decision (as a matter of fact he should be reported to ministry of women affiars) but know that once a naive girl falls in love for the first time, her attitude changes totally so the man doesn't need to know about you. It's his daughter and he know when her attitude changes.

All this early spoilt dudes!! why not use that same desire and love to focus on something profitable that brings money. The man the father of the girl is giving her out to, might be well financial stable and your there killing yourself for love.... dude they don't eat love. Go keep your brain busy with profiting jobs and stop embarrassing your manhood. Grow up!!!.
