BATTABOX VIDEO: Child Marriage in Nigeria - Yes or No??


The issue of child marriage in Nigeria has been reignited by Nigeria's Senate, led by Senator Yerima, bid to re-approve a clause in the Constitution that many fear will allow child marriage in Nigeria.

"We are going inside the UNILAG mosque to ask the Imam and Muslim scholars how they feel about this controversial issue - child marriage," explains Adeola, BattaBox presenter.
A proposed constitutional amendment defined the age at which Nigerians can renounce their citizenship at 18 - but a majority of Senators, led by Yerima, voted down the amendment stating it is against Islamic law.
