Viral photos of underage couple who tied the knot in Sokoto stirs controversy

Reactions from netizens have been triggered by reports that a 17-year-old boy called Abubakar and a 15-year-old girl named Maryam got married.

According to reports, the teenagers recently conducted a nikkah (Muslim wedding) in Sokoto state, and family members were present.

People began debating whether the underage couple’s behavior was morally and legally permissible after pictures of them appeared online.

However, some claimed that in the north, young marriage among children is commonplace.
