An11-year-old girl got married to a 65-year-old man who is old enough to be her grandfather
Mostly those kids are from poor homes, the deal is done in exchange for poverty alleviation. No wealthy family will release their daughter for marriage at this tender age.
It’s quite unfortunate that the young girl’s future, hopes, aspirations, life, and right to choose have all been taken away from her in such a disgusting manner.

Sadly, religion is the biggest problem in this part of the world, and something urgently needs to be done about it.
Photos and videos gone viral on social media which have enraged a lot of netizens capture the moment an 11-year-old girl was handed over to her 65-year-old husband in the course of their marriage ceremony.
In a video, the young girl appeared sad while the man, who’s old enough to be her great grandfather, was in a jubilant mood.

I still don’t understand how the old man found the 11-year-old girl attractive enough to marry her.
Someone that is supposed to be watching cartoons and playing without having to worry about responsibilities; this world is just messed up.
Below is a video from the wedding reception that has received over 50k angry reactions on social media.
They even celebrated it and there were female adults jubilating and making videos of it. God Abeg naaaa!!!!🙆 pic.twitter.com/9CSkPI3q4v

It's a multi faceted issue. First there's poverty, then there's religion. If the girl's parents were well to do, this wouldn't have happened. And as they're seemingly not well to do, the religious factor will be brought in to make the union "legal"
