‘My wife is 21’ says 60-year-old Kano man accused of marrying 11-year-old girl
The elderly man accused of marrying a minor has reacted after his marriage went viral.
The man married his wife a few weeks ago in Kano, Nigeria.
Shortly after, a photo from the wedding went viral and sparked outrage, with many asking why an old man should marry such a young girl.
Later, the groom defended his choice saying, “It’s my choice, I married her because we love each other.”
The man has now taken to Facebook to address the outcry over his marriage.
He said his wife was 21, not 11 as claimed, and that it was also his choice to marry her.
