Viral wedding pictures of a young-looking lady have sparked widespread reactions on social media. The pictures, which began trending earlier today, quickly attracted a lot of criticism.
Many accused people from certain parts of Nigeria of indulging in early child marriage, strongly condemning the act.
However, the lady in question has come forward to defend her marriage. In a short video she posted, she debunked the rumors that she is underage.
She said, “According to the Nigerian constitution, 18 is an adult, and I am not 18 years, I am not 20 years, and not 25 years. I am a graduate. My small stature shouldn’t be a barrier to achieving my goal. So, I am not underage, and I wasn’t used as collateral or as a loan because some people commented like that.”
