that poor girl. Why is the government turning a blind eye to child marriages? What 12 year old child is old enough to marry and bear children? Shame on the parents for allowing this, shame on the padeo man who married her and shame on all the guests who witnessed it and celebrated

Utterly and completely unacceptable. I truly hope that consummation is not forced upon this child ie I hope she is not raped by this old paedo. A 12 year old cannot give consent.
I am sickened by this.

Obscene. Child marriage is simply socially-permitted sexual enslavement of children.

This is vile!

Despite the prevalence declining, there are more than two million child brides in Ghana, with roughly 19% of girls married before they’re 18.

How is this allowed?

I read this earlier somewhere and the report said the girl was being prepared for all the marriage 'rights' including preparing for childbirth. A 12 year old child expected to give birth. It's barbaric 🤬

Ah that's probably the same report I read

Sadly this is not an unusual situation.

Which is why the most likely cause of death, globally, for girls aged between 14-19, remains childbirth/pregnancy complications.

They're raped, made pregnant by their rapist 'husbands', and then they die of maternal complications.

That is horrendous, 12.is still a child whichever country you are from. 💔

I don't care what culture it is .
A 12 year old is not a woman.
Often this is dressed up as religious
It's paedophilia.

Awful awful awful. The government have made it illegal but it seemingly still goes on without punishment. Poor child.

Completely agree, it's vile

It's disgusting! These poor kids. Realistically English history only 100 years ago was completely onboard making young girls mums and selling them off. Sick but we have changed and the other cultures need to change too, we can't enforce our beliefs as we are years ahead of some people. Saudis have no respect for women at all. We can't tell them to think like we do it causes a mess

Unconscionable.

Utterly sick and there is no excuse for it

That’s not accurate. England & Wales only legislated to ban child marriages in the 1920s (previously you could marry from puberty) but it was never at all common for extremely young girls to marry. For much of post-Norman Conquest history, the typical age of marriage was the early to mid 20s. Child marriage mainly affected a handful of upper class women. Our perceptions are skewed because history tends to focus on royalty and the nobility.

I'd castrate him and every other dirty old fucker who does this.

There's an update ( sorry, I failed to upload link) that the girl and her mother have been taken into Police custody - I think for their protection, due to public outcry.

Amazing. Hopefully they continue to persecute these illegal practices

Sounds potentially positive.

You’d think that maybe the minister was taken into custody.

Presumably not before she was raped by this pervert?
I honestly detest these men who don’t see what a hideous individual they are.

At least it's illegal in Ghana, child marriage is still legal in many US states! Hope the girl recovers, goes back to school and leads a normal life.

Evil, evil, evil. I hope this uproar is to protect this poor girl and her family and not to protect the paedophile old priest.

Poor child will now be repeatedly raped by the paedophile

Good but it shouldn’t have been the public that made the police move. It’s been noted that there are still child brides in Ghana that the police and government turn a blind eye too. We shouldn’t have to petition action on every one. The police should be pulling their finger out and doing it
