Child marriage

Let's hear from Nafissa (from Niger)

“I was, 14 at the time and was still at school. They married me to a 34-year-old man whom I didn’t know. My uncle engineered the wedding. It was the son of his friend. I remember it was a good day, I was happy because I got a good mark at school. But on the way home everyone was looking at me. They called out me: “the young bride, the young bride.” That’s how I found out I was going to be married off. "

How about Malaysian?

Che Abdul Karim Che Hamid, father of four and husband to two wives, quietly married an 11-year-old girl in June 2018. He even told social media that he had his eye on the child since she was seven years old.  

​

“I knew Ayu since she was small because we were neighbours, and I also taught Al-Quran lessons to her… it was then I told myself, ‘One day I will take this girl as my wife,’ and I did so after four years later.”
