While I was scrolling on my phone, I came across a picture of an old man and a young lady whose wedding has been scheduled to hold today, 9th January 2021. It looks like a wedding invitation card of the new couple as it can be seen boldly on it that:
“ALH Yushu’a Suleiman WEDS Amina Mohammed.”
The man, the groom who is said to be 83 years old is set to marry a young bride who is only 16 years of age. This picture bothered me and made me to wonder what exactly is happening to this generation. I began to wonder what would be the reason why a young lady like her would agree to get married to an old man. How will a lady as young as this willingly allow an old man to be her husband? Is this normal?
Wait, for how many years will they be married? Didn’t she think about all these before getting married to someone enough to be her grandfather? How does she expect herself to cope when she’s finally 33 years old and his new husband clocks 100 years, is she indirectly planning to become a widower at a very tender age?
See their picture below.
