Senator Ahmed Yerima Divorces 17year Old Egyptian Wife, Marries Another 15yr Old

Three years
after marrying
a 14 year old
Egyptian girl
named Marian,
which was
widely
protested in
Nigeria, former
Zamfara state
governor and
serving
senator of
the federal
republic of
Nigeria, Sen.
Ahmed
Yerima, has
reportedly
divorced her
to marry a
new wife, City People reports. According to the
magazine, Yerima and four men, said to be
members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly
were in Egypt a few weeks ago for the wedding
fathia of a new bride said to be 15 years old.
Marian who is now 17 and a mother of one, is
believed to be the daughter of the former
governor's driver whenever he visits Egypt. The
reason he divorced her is to enable him take a new
wife as he's not allowed more than four wives.
The Senator is alleged to have married and
divorced a few women in the last few years but has
never changed his first three wives, only the fourth
ones.
Sen. Ahmed Yerima this year was strongly against
the deletion of the section of the 1999 constitution
which pegged the official marriage age in Nigeria
as 18 years, saying it was anti-Islam.
