WILL YOU ALLOW YOUR PRETTY 16 YEARS OLD SISTER TO MARY A MAN OF THIRTY FIVE YEARS OLD ?
THE BOTH PARTY ARE FROM SOUTHERN PART OF NIGERIA.

THE GIRL MOTHER HAS AGREE BUT THE BROTHERS DOES NOT WANT THE MAN .

THE GIRL HATE THE MAN IN EVERY THING BUT THE MOTHER IS FORCING THE GIRL TO MARY THE MAN, JUST BECAUSE THE MAN HOLD A LITTLE CASH

No, 35 or 25, a 16year old is still a child in many ways.

How can a mother force her own daughter on a man? Does this kind of thing still happen? The brothers should help the girl elope!

The man is a child molester and has bought the mother. The mother is selfish and looking out for her own comfort by all means. Where is your father? If you dont have one, i am sure the boys in the house can stand up to the mother. Let your sister go to school. Besides, she does not like the man, that marriage will be equal to modern day slavery. Shameless parent.

That is crazy i think its a modern day slavery

There just are not enough facts to be judgemental about this. The hard reality of life for some people do not allow them the luxury of making choices. What if the family does not have enough money to send the girl or her siblings to school? What happens to most girls from such homes do they not end up selling themselves on a daily basis to different men. That is a form of slavery too. Without an insight into the true situation I cannot condemn the mother outright. A hungry man has little regard for morals because he is reduced to the level of an animal. Who knows in the long run which plight would be harder for the girl.

Very good perspective from Mutter. Nigerians are hypocrites and very judgemental.

The 35 year old man is a closet pedophile and the girl should not be forced to marry him.

But the real question is - what next for the girl and her siblings?

...and eight years later, did the marriage still hold?

Even if she sells herself to men in the future it will be her OWN decision. The mother has no right to decide what and who she should marry. Who told you by the way that there are not a lot of hardworking young women from poor homes out there? A lot of them do not sell their bodies and they work hard and make it in life. Please and please do not such a barbaric act! The 35yr old obviously has something wrong with him if he has to force himself on a child who does not want him. He’s obviously attracted to children. When she grows older she will lose appeal and then we will have a young damaged woman, who will probably be abandoned with children while he chases younger girls. Just because the mother was desperate to sell her own child. Rubbish.

OP let that girl grow, mature, go to school, thrive and be the woman she hopes and dreams to be. If she is focused she will succeed. Good one from the brothers for resisting this evil.

It’s all right, it’s all right.
This is eight years later and all parties are legal now.
The man is 43 while the girl (now woman) is 24.
I only want to know if the marriage went ahead.
The OP is still active but I doubt he’ll give .
He didn’t respond eight years ago and I’m sure he won’t respond now.
Me thinks this is a made up story.
He was looking for attention out of boredom.
