Pictures Of An 18-year-old Boy Who Got Married To His 15-year-old Girlfriend That Sparked Reactions

A popular group on Facebook Igbo Rant Hq, shared some photos of an 18-year-old boy who got married to his 15-year-old girlfriend.

The pictures caused heavy reactions from Nigerians .

Teen marriage is generally understood to mean marriages that take place before age 18, but for many girls, marriage occurs much earlier.

In some countries, girls as young as 7 or 8 are forced by their families to marry much older men.

The reasons girls are married are diverse, and parents sometimes believe that through marriage, they are protecting their daughters and increasing their economic opportunities.

However, child marriage exposes girls to increased health problems and violence, denies them access to social networks and support systems, and perpetuates a cycle of poverty and gender inequality.
