(Marriage of women below 18 years) - Women are suffering from reproductive health challenges were products of such marriages. Time had come when the Muslim community should live by the reality of economic recession and consequences of early marriage. The era when people gave out their daughters in marriage at early ages and asked the husbands to wait till they were ripe was nothing but a deception. According to me, strategy no longer worked as it had led to cases of divorce and other ugly situations. In the past the rich and the poor married four wives and bore between 30 and 40children because the economy was not only buoyant but also because people were not relying on government for sustenance. Though the harsh economic realities now make it impossible for
people to feed twice a day these days, “Unfortunately our people do not change and somebody with virtually nothing still give birth to 20or 30 children and this must stop”. There was a need to peg the marriage age now because of the challenges early marriage was posing. The marriage age in Egypt at present was 18 while that of Malaysia and Morocco were 19 and 17 respectively, asking "Why not we here urgently call for pegging of marriage ages within Muslim Ummah in Nigeria?" Nigerian Muslims also practice the Malikiyas School of thought as these countries, “We should follow suit and peg our own marriage ages for our own good”. I urge the relevant authorities to create a law that would punish anybody that gave birth to children and allowed them to suffer. Most of those neglected children not only turned victims of social vices but also engage in terrorism. - Muhammadu Sanusi II

Ayam not understanding either.
ReplyDeleteWhat is there not to understand...just bcos stella said she doesn't understand,una follow dey talk that u don't understand too
DeleteI pray the northern Muslims understand this,but as usual,they wont.
DeleteImagine one Muslim society calling the senate not to pass the gender bill.
Is kettle trying to call pot black? Mr Sanusi I'm not understanding
DeleteHe made sense
DeleteVery well said. Thats the CHANGE that is needed urgently up Northern Nigeria.
DeleteO God, thank you for giving the Emir this vision.

ReplyDeleteI don't get.
ReplyDeleteIs he suggesting they peg marriage age to teenagers?
All I know that his last wife is a teenager
DeleteSays the renowned pedophile
ReplyDeleteDoesn't he have like a dozen children?
Change begins with you
Tell your people that are guilty of this.
I'm sure u're not a retard. Even if he has a hundred kids, he can take care of them all.
DeleteHe made valid points right there. People should stop vomiting kids they can't take care of. If u're too poor, have one child or 2 max.
Anony don't mind the retard. He is a pedophile but can still feed all his kidsyou call Buhari an old man all the time,ejoor Pa Nduka is what?

True talk!
ReplyDeleteThat uwais' son that was killed in Syria as a member of ISIS na rich man pikin na
DeleteHe is trying to say, child marriage should be abolished.
ReplyDelete*Previously the men indicate interest at early age, then came back later. He said this arrangement is/was a deception. Maybe they never waited long enough for the child to mature.
*A legal marital age should be created for the muslim community.
*Terrotist are products of 'over breeding' since the parents most times can't fend for them.
*Government should punish parents that can't/don't fend for their kids.
In a nutshell, he is saying over breeding in the North is responsible for so many vices there_ inclusive of child marriages and terrorism.
I wouldn't fault this postulation because I've never seen children of the Northern/Islamic elites marry at such age(s).
Good girl. I love you already
Delete@barbie, ✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌two fingers in the air for you.
DeleteGbam!. You get sense abeg. But i doubt SLS wrote this. The grammatical erros are a dead give away. Errors aside, the original writer has raised many valid points. I just hope they will listen
DeleteThank you Barbie, this is clearer than I would have interpreted it.

ReplyDeleteGood one.
ReplyDeleteThat was how one Alhaji died recently leaving 28 kids with more than 2 wives. Had partial stroke and Aminu Kano was on strike but his relatives with dubious motive went and brought in one local Malam to be treating him at home. Some told them to take the rich Alhaji to a private hosp,they said - the Doctors in Aminu Kano Hospit didn't advice such, that was how that man died.
One of the results of marrying underaged illiterate girls.
you want it to be that you said something ba like say na now you know and if there's no recession you won't have bothered okwaya? Anyway, majority of your people are not educated not to even talk of being on social media. kindly call meetings and speak to them in your language, record yourself and pay for it to be aired on BBC Hausa, other hausa radio stations and scholars in the mosques should tell them too. cos the way they believe their scholars ehn..in fact I can't explain.
ReplyDeleteAda
He made sense. Enough of the underage teenagers being given out in marriages, it does not only happens in the Northern parts of Nigeria, it happens everywhere in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteThe lady who works for me is from the middle belt. She was given out when she was 12 yrs and made to get pregnant immediately.
DeleteIt happens everywhere even in my own local government Oji River.

DeleteHypocrite
DeleteIf only they will listen to his advice. you need to see the way these slanderous suffer to appreciate what Sanusi is saying. Concentrate on the message and not the messenger.
ReplyDeleteTruly. Do what I say and not what I do.
DeleteAyam not understanding
ReplyDeleteEndtime
ReplyDeleteSomeone here is deeply uninformed about the 'so called Muslim ummah'. If the law say this and you circumvent the law along religious lines, then we need a clear delineation between the civil law and sharia law. It's not about the Muslim ummah please, there are laws in the land and those laws should be adhered to,except we are now in a banana republic
ReplyDeleteI guess you are a muslim. But at least look at th health challenges these women go through. Its enough to make some adjustments in that law that allows underaged girls to be given out in marriage.
DeleteCynham, are u confused?
DeleteCynham abeg read the post and read the anon post. Thank you.
DeleteBecause Stella said she doesn't understand, people are saying the same thing. He is simply asking those northerners to reason with their brains, not their private parts. The economic situation no longer permits marrying 4wives and having 20kids. In other words, polygamy is now a luxury/lifestyle only the rich can afford. If you find it hard eating 3square meals, pls stay off polygamy. Sanusi didnt marry and under age woman and he can marry 10 more if he wants, hes got the mullah. Muslims, take note
ReplyDeleteLike button da!
DeleteUnderstanding I am not, warrisdis?
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a mockery to me,coming from him... considering the fact that he's married to a kid himself.
ReplyDeleteWhy we make things that shouldn't bother us our headache beats me. This child matrige issue shouldn't bother us. There is too much mismanagement, stealing etc that hamper our progress to bother about. If a man chooses to give out his daughter at any age, how is it anyone's concern. These problems of childbirth issues are more due to failure to access health facilities than early marriage. While we condemn early marriage here, we applaud a former American vice president who said on air that he will support his underaged daughter to procure abortion if she chose to.
ReplyDeleteMarrying early is bad while engaging in sex,even earlier, with the active support of parents is good
God help his people
Can u now see that u don't have even a Lil bit of sense? The issue of child marriage shouldn't bother us? Wtf is wrong with u? Maybe u need to see 'dry'. A lot of things are wrong with this country, including Child marriage and we need to be bothered about every one of them
DeleteThis youngman you are a retard, you most times reason with your anus. Anuofia
DeleteRetard! This one is short that's why I read it. I bet your other long comments are equally senseless
DeleteRead to understand not to insult- the man is making all the sense and kicking against child marriage and we are insulting him?
ReplyDeleteLet's borrow sense pls
After marrying an underaged girl. Go to hell, useless paedophile!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt really doesn't matter what he's done in the past, realising it's wrong is a great step and trying to stop it is an even greater step
DeleteHmmm
ReplyDeletePractice what u preach sir..
ReplyDeleteYeah. That's a good idea so to stop child marriage.
ReplyDeleteValid points raised here Emir but as always,every word you say will be scrutinised. But let me quickly ask,isnt he also married to an underage?
ReplyDeleteThe health danger in birthing at such a young age should be a wakeup call to the parents of the child bride but yet they still give out their daughters. It is well o.
At least he can take care of his family
DeleteWhy do these igbo people reason like animals. They can't read and comprehend simple English. Sanusi is saying do not marry underage girls, the government should put an age cap on such practices and do not have plenty children you cannot afford to take care of.
ReplyDeleteSanusi did not marry an underage girl she was 18 years old when he married her and that is an adult in the eyes of the law. He also has children that he can afford to take care of very comfortably.
His children are not suffering and begging for food on blogs like you stupid fools that commented and come here to beg everyday.
This is what is killing you people, your hate and bigotry has clouded your ability to think and reason rationally.
Thunder fire you senseless for mentioning Igbo peoplr in this matter! Ewu
Delete...Victoria's Heart
Why are you fighting with your self
DeletePlease start from the emir of katsina that converted a 14 year old Christian girl and even had the guts to marry...
ReplyDeleteWhy people make accusations without proper verification amazes me. Nineteen and thirteen may be grouped as teenagers but they are not the same in reasoning or maturity. He is using his position to speak up and that should be applauded and not shot down. Na so we shoot down Mr common sense instead of supporting and encouraging more high profile personalities to speak up. Words have impact and power. Well done Sir.
ReplyDeleteHe's making real sense, I don't even know how a grown man in his senses will wantu make love to an under aged girl. 12years,13years etc. It's not fair.
ReplyDeleteEven though it's more common in the north, it happens everywhere.
There should even be a law that severely punishs men who rape underage girls.
Thank u Mr sanusi,pls let ur Muslim brothers take a drastic measures in ensuring that child marriage is stopped.they can marry as many wives as they like but marry adults.it pains me when I see on TV a Muslim girl subjected to forced or early marriage.
ReplyDeleteWell said. This will help to control population
