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.

According to inside reports, Aliyu is following his family tradition of marrying early. .

It’s gathered that male children of 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.

See pictures of Aliyu’s elder brother who now has 2kids below;

Goodluck to them.happiness is the major key

To tackle fornication?
That's utter bullshit!

Don't we wake up every morning to a myriad of sad stories about infidelity and shameless scandals in marriages?

This is so messed up.
These kids should be in school, not in a domestic prison.

Marriage comes with maturity.
Maturity comes with age.
But that's none of my Business.

A moment of silence for two souls caught up in deceit.

She's pretty. Her spindly boo ain't that bad either

it is better to be married at 15 than to become evening newspaper

It can only be the north.

Chelsea82, correct your heading. It's 'his fiancee', not 'her fiancee'

When a similar story of two young lovers from South Africa was posted here & Nigerians made comments, did you hear us whinging about why you guys were commenting on a "South African matter"?

No vex...
From your above comment, it shows that you're gradually turning yourself into a Nairaland tribalist. You're not Nigerian so don't get yourself involved in a fight that has nothing to do with you. Just sit back relax and watch...

I cannot think of anything worse wed at 15? Never seeing the world or having experienced life?

is not my marriage...... so congrats joor

How am I turning into a tribalist? I'm not the one that brought ethnicity into this discussion. Two people made comments regarding certain tribes & in both posts I asked questions. I think you're just projecting. I have no dog in this fight, so I have no reason to be tribalistic. Tribalistic? NO. Forward? Maybe
