13 years old?????? really??
To those of you who thought the sub-Saharan African region only consisted of women who were inferior to men and accepted their "place" in society...well you were wrong. A Nigerian womens group is standing up to be counted against child marriage after a senator from Zamfara, Nigeria married a child bride from Egypt. If the senator thought that this case of pedophilia would be overlooked, because of the Sharia law in his state of residence, he was greatly disappointed. It may be that he suffers from a strong case of myopia concerning the law he is supposed to help legislate, however the women's group clearly saw that his actions violated the Child Rights Act of 2003. The Senator, Ahmad Sani Yerima is 49 years old and this is not his first time engaging in this act. It is also said that Mr. Sani allegedly married a 15 year old girl in 2006. Mmmhmmm this man is so dirty I'm not even going to put his picture on this site....coz I just might have to spray it with lysol

Why do people's greed always get the best of them when it comes to using basic common sense.This senator put his common sense on permanent pause while he shamelessly engage in marriages with kids that may be younger than his grandchildren. This is the year 2010 and some people still have their values and integrity stuck on the beginning of time. Way to go women's group, stand up for your sisters and be counted. The wolves need to be stopped. Women and girls have rights that need to be protected.
