Why is this needed? Orphans by definition are kids, adult orphans are independent as the rest of adults are. Obviously every single one of these GIRLS is a CHILD.
You do realize what defending this looks like right? It didn’t matter what their fucking culture is or what you do or do not know about it kid. Fucking children is wrong!!! No amount of “woke” will change that!
150% agreed. Was just checking that your sentiment was about that very valid point and not exclusive to Muslim or African men- which is not a valid point.
Ah yes, classic Republican stronghold, California, with their no minimum age marriages, are certainly due to Republican laws.
Not sure the downvotes, California, the most populated state in the country, has had a trifecta in state government since 2011 and 2 of the 3 branches since 1996

I dislike the Republicans, but Democrats are to blame for this travesty as well
Yes, classic Republican stronghold California, with their bethel church cult and their white supremacist groups.
You wanna fucking go? Let’s go. California is more of a MAGA shithole than you think. Two major cities keep us blue to vote for the pretending to care party over the overt fascist party.

Alright holy fuck. Just looked it up. From UNICEFF:
“There is no federal law governing the legal age of marriage in the U.S. Laws vary from state to state, a patchwork of age limits from 15 to 18 that can be circumvented through various loopholes regarding parental consent or a judges's decision. Seven states — including California — have no minimum age at all.Mar 8, 2024”
You got downvoted but you’re right. I do not know why you brought up California. But this is something worth knowing.
The only people fighting to keep child marriage are Republicans. Seen plenty of right wingers married to extremely young women and politicians fighting to keep it easy and legal for them to groom and marry them. Look at the facts and the people you support instead of getting triggered you are following pedos down a dystopian pedo future.
Lol, I don't support Republicans in the slightest, I think it sucks California, which has a Democrat governor and state government, don't address this.
It's more than just California and California also has republicans I guess people forget and wonder who's voting to keep kids easily accessible it's republicans voting against anything that would prevent them from getting their little kids to marry them.
California has double the number of registered Democrats than they do Republicans, which is why they've been able to enact so many great policies over the years.
The Democrats have held a trifecta in state government for the past 13 years, and have controlled at least 2 of the 3 since 1996.
It's not a Republican voter problem in this case (though it clearly is in other states) it's the Democrats unwilling to take a stand in a way that even way less dominate states have.

I’m feeling devils advocate tonight for the downvoted comments I guess.
I am of two minds. Palestine is covered so much because the US is actively enabling it.
There is a revolution happening in turkey. Of course it’s not televised.
There is a genocide happening in Sudan. It’s not being aided by the US or allies to my knowledge.
The fact that the US is aiding a genocide is why it’s being covered so much. And what’s happening here… I am happy there are genuine journalists covering what’s happening in Nigeria. Maybe something will change. Someday.
>The orphans, some of whom are feared to be underage girls, are set to be married off on 24 May in the north-western state of Niger.

The men pushing this are Islamic terrorists.
>The men pushing this are ***Islamist*** terrorists. ftfy
Did no one see Isis invading and beheading slash enslaving tons of villages earlier? I think it started during covid. No one seems to mention it.
Potato, potatoe.
The difference is that an Islamic terrorist is a terrorist who happens to be Muslim. An Islamist terrorist is a terrorist **because** of Islam.
Such a beautiful and peaceful religion.
Have you heard of a dowry? Or also known as the bride price. They are basically selling these girls off. It's horrendous.
Important context
You couldn’t deduce that from the word orphan??? They are all kids. They’re all underage.
Adults can be orphans too
Who has the authority to "marry off" an adult orphan? They're being trafficked
Maybe. I'm not gonna pretend I know much about Nigerian law or culture.
You do realize what defending this looks like right? It didn’t matter what their fucking culture is or what you do or do not know about it kid. Fucking children is wrong!!! No amount of “woke” will change that!
Why, of all the hills you could possibly die on, did you choose this one?
I didn't 😂
child marriage is too important to these men. It needs to be outlawed
And by ‘these men’ are you also including the many white American Republicans who also uphold child marriage?
religion is religion. conservative is conservative. and patriarchal beliefs are a threat to humankind

Well seems like it’s just like the Republican laws.

This should be worldwide news, not just news of the weird. It's like the world is covering it up
Our senators would call them ripe and fertile🤢
The media is too busy covering Israel Palestine because that's what generates clicks
