This week, the Senate gave a legislative seal of approval for the marriage of underage girls. That means even a 5 year old toddler could be married off by her parents.
Underage girls should be Sent to school and not to infant marriages.
Education is the bedrock of every society, and the education of the girl child is as important as that of her male counterparts
