Controversial union: 65-year-old man weds 11-year-old girl

The video shows the 65-year-old man dancing and celebrating while the young girl looked on, with a sad and scared expression on her face.

The whole scene was quite disturbing and heart-wrenching to watch.

It’s important to note that child marriage is still prevalent in some parts of the world, particularly in poor and underdeveloped regions. Those kids are mostly from poor homes, so the deal is done in exchange for poverty amelioration.

No wealthy family will release their daughter for marriage at this tender age. This practice is often justified under the guise of religion and tradition, but it’s a gross violation of human rights, particularly the rights of the girl child.

It’s appalling that such a young girl would be forced into marriage with a man who’s old enough to be her great-grandfather. It’s not just about the age difference, but also about the power imbalance and the fact that the girl is not capable of making informed decisions about her life and future.

Child marriage has devastating consequences on the lives of girls, including increased risk of maternal mortality, limited access to education and economic opportunities, and physical and sexual violence. The young girl in this case has had her childhood stolen from her, and her future is now uncertain.

It’s time for governments, religious leaders, and communities to take a stand against child marriage and prioritize the rights and well-being of the girl child.

Poverty alleviation and education should be prioritized as a means of empowering girls and ensuring that they have control over their lives and futures.

In conclusion, the marriage of a 65-year-old man to an 11-year-old girl is a disturbing and unacceptable practice that violates the rights of the girl child. We must work together to end this practice and ensure that girls are protected, educated, and empowered to make informed decisions about their lives and futures.
