"Nigeria has many uncountable problems and none of them is
early marriage. As a matter of fact, early marriage the solution to
about half of our problems.
For those who wonder if I can give my
daughter(s) out in marriage at the age of 9 or 13, I tell you most
honestly, I can give her out at the age of 6 if I want to and its not
your business.
This is because I am a Muslim and I follow the example of the best of mankind, Muhammad ﺻَﻠَّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠَّﻪُ ﻋَﻠَﻴْﻪِ ﻭَﺳَﻠَّﻢَ .
In
Islam, marriage is not only about sex, it is about family and helping
one another in achieving their goals, which is the attainment of
Paradise.
In Islam, a girl can be given out in marriage as early as 6
years old, but consummation of the marriage can only be done when the
girl becomes physically mature and she gives her consent to it because
unlike English law, it is not permissible for a man To Molest his wife
in Shari'ah Law.
So what can anybody tell me?
~ I live in a city
where young girls at the age of 12 have already became serial
fornicators and cannot count the number of man they've Were Intimate
with.
~ I live in a City where primary school children disvirgin themselves behind toilets on Valentine day.
~
I live in a city where young girls flood the street at night looking
for men that would give them N500 to Be Intimate with them.
~ I live in a city where parents send their daughters out overseas to prostitute and send dollars down.
~
I live in a City where Government officials pick undergraduates from
University car parks with Coastal Buses to wild sex parties.
~ I live in a city where abortion is so common that even a
Chemist shop owner can perform abortion with just N2,500.
These
are your daughters, and this should worry you and not Yerima's private
matters. So ask me again why I support early marriage and I will slap
the Jinn out of your head''.
