A 17-year-old boy identified as Aliyu and his 15-year-old fiancée, Aisha, have released their prewedding pictures ahead of their wedding, next week, in Sokoto.
Reports have it that Aliyu is following his family tradition of marrying early as male children in his family marry at the age of 17, while the female ones marry at 15.
However, in extreme cases, they marry at the age of 19. The
tradition was allegedly embraced to prevent them from fornicating and
also to allow them see their grandchildren.
