Save the future of the girl child!

Why should a girl as young as ten be given out in marriage simply because the law of the land supports it? This is with regards to the bill sponsored by senator Yerima the former zamfara state governor that will allow a man in his right senses to marry a ten year old girl for example who knows little or nothing about life. What if I must ask is the advantage if any to such a bill? Who does it favour? The disadvantages far outweighs any such advantage? It is an infringement on the fundamental rights of the girl child which should not be encouraged. The health implication is also there to worry about. My take on this bill is that it should not see the light of day or should be fought against vehemently. Even uf such is common in the northern part of the country there should be a law to discourage would be perpertrators. Please let us rise up with one voice to save the future of the girl child!
