WHAT IS AN UNDER AGED MARRIAGE & DATE


In addressing the believe and philosophy that many people have, when they see two young people in relationship and getting married in their earlier 20s, or late teen of 18/20. You hear them say they are too small to date, too young to be in relationship. A girl or lady of Under 23 are not under age at all for dating and marriage, most girls nowadays finish secondary at age 15 and 16 years, and already in high institution at age 16, by the age of 19 years or 20 years they are already a graduate. If fortune smiles on them early, they are already working straight from University, that's if their parents are connected. Most of our mothers, in the past got married at a young age of between 16-18yrs because to them it is the rightful ripe age for marriage. Your believe system for when or what age should a lady be in relationship is totally wrong if you think a lady/girl of 16 to 18 years isn't matured for relationship and marriage.


In many countries 16 year is very okay to marry, with the believe that "the virgin's hymen will break easily without much pain for a virgin during intercourse during honey moon. But the older a lady is and still a virgin the virgin's hymen becomes harder", that was their believe for marrying early during 70s. And it is still in practice today. I just learnt in a member's comment that in Ghana, a girl of 9years is ripe for marriage, oh! I don't support such barbaric practices. Our own northerners also practice that in # Naija and serious legislature is on-going against it here in Nigeria, because of what those little girls suffers during child birth and post-childbirth trauma. So therefore from 18 years to 22years as a girl is not a girl but a lady and free to date, enter relationship and marry, 18 years is United Nation acceptable year of adulthood for but male and female.


The ambiguity surrounding the age allowed to date, be in relationship with opposite sex and marriage thing, differs from one country to another, from culture to culture and traditions, and religion, and beliefs. Every country have their laws and constitutions for what age is allowed for marriage, even states within countries do have theirs, and whatever your believe can't change it. Neither will the guys/men dating/marrying girls from the age of 18 committing any crime. My own opinion is that I think a 16 year old mind and intellect isn't properly formed to absorb the pressures of marriage nor dating. But, most girls at 16 year are already matured if they have been properly groomed by their mothers, in preparation for adulthood and are exposed to books. Let us not abuse our youth's mind into crimes and illicit sex.

MOST IMPORTANT THING IN MARRIAGE

Uncle Etuk grinned when he saw his daughter, Idara and the husband Ime walked into the house. The old man, was on one of his rare visits to his daughter and in-law. He had to succumb after several pleas from his in-law to move from the confines of Mkpat Enin to Uyo to spend the Easter Holidays. This his  in-law believed he needed to comfort the old man from loneliness after his wife’s demise three months ago.  After dinner that evening, he whispered to his son in law that if they don’t mind, he would love to have a quick word with the couple after the children have gone to bed. By 9pm, the couple was back to the dinner table to hear what the old man had to say. He started by asking them a simple question “What is the most important thing in your life Idara? She replied, “Daddy, it is the kids, they mean everything to me”. He then turned and asked Ime, the son in law the same question, he also beaming with pride said: "it is the kids of course; they are the reason why ...

SHE WOULD LIKELY CHEAT IF SHE LOVES THESE THREE THINGS

Although it is said that men cheat more than women, today the ratio is almost level. Just like men have different justifications for cheating, women too cheat for different reasons. Here are 3 types of women who are likely to cheat:- 1. The money lover: The money or gift lover is the number one on the list because most women cheat because of this 'weakness' in them. We all love money and would wish to have lots of it but for such women, they are capable of getting into other relationships just because of finances. This is the type that sleeps with any man as long as there is monetary payback. 2. The 'party animal': No party passes without her having to attend. I don't mean every woman who goes to a party is a cheat but the 'party animal' is highly likely to cheat. No weekend finds her in the house, instead, she will be out drinking and dancing with other men till morning. The drinks she takes could be sponsored by abled men who would the...

MARRIAGE IS HIGH MAINTENANCE

If you are not ready for the work, perhaps you should take things slow where you are now until you are ready. Just like you maintain and service your car and generators, your marriage needs to be maintained or serviced to avoid a catastrophic breakdown or engine failure. So what are some of the things you can do to service or build your marriage? Here goes; Make your marriage your top priority. Many people, especially women think that their children are number one. Wrong! Your spouse is Your Number One. Your children (believe it or not) are number two. God is everything so don't think I skipped that here. All else comes after family. Remember why you fell in love and agreed to marry your spouse in the first place. Keep these reasons on the front burner and never forget them.

Keep romance alive, a loving touch here, kind words o...
