Three years after marrying a 14 year old Egyptian girl named Marian,
which was widely protested in Nigeria, former Zamfara state governor and
serving senator of the federal republic of Nigeria, Sen. Ahmed Yerima,
has reportedly divorced her to marry a new wife. According to reports,
Sen.Yerima and four men, said to be members of the Zamfara State House
of Assembly were in Egypt a few weeks ago for the wedding fathia of a
new bride said to be 15 years old.
Marian who is now 17 and a mother of one, is believed to be the daughter
of the former governor's driver whenever he visits Egypt. The reason he
divorced her is to enable him take a new wife as he's not allowed more
than four wives.
The Senator is alleged to have married and divorced a few women in the
last few years but has never changed his first three wives, only the
fourth ones.
Sen. Ahmed Yerima this year was strongly against the deletion
of the section of the 1999 constitution which pegged the official marriage age in Nigeria as 18 year, saying it was anti-Islam.
