Asari Dokubo Defends Under Age Marriage Law In Nigeria "We Muslims Can Marry Girls Of Any Age"

Asari Dokubo, the leader of Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, got more than what he bargained for after voicing his support for the legalization of under-aged marriages in Nigeria by the senate.

Asari Dokubo had posted his opinion warning the Senate from tampering with the religious rights of the people.
According to him, "people should learn to respect other people's sensibilities…We Muslims have the right to marry when we want or give out our daughters at any age we want. It is not your business and the law must respect our right to do so."
"Anything short of that is an infringement on our rights. We did not ask you to marry ladies of that age or give your daughters out in marriage at that age. Plzzzzzzzz respect our sensibilities."

His negative opinion of underage marriages in Nigeria was supported by a few muslims like Abubakar Usman who claims he was right.

A fan named Taiwo, wondering why the Senate took that position, said: "then the gays and lesbians have such rights too as the pedophiles."

One Okide Maduka Tochukwu said, "since we all have rights, how do we protect the victims from the pedophiles? Please great Muslim cleric answer us."

He also pleaded with one of Asari's supporters to produce his 12-year old girl for marriage with his 'mai-guard', saying the latter is in desperate need of a wife.
"In a state like Zamfara, all the distinguished senator can think of is copulation. Is that the utmost need of his constituency?"
"Please, one of my greatest heroes is Imra Khan of Pakistan, I wish people would emulate great minds like him," he added.

Blac Gene simply called Asari's opinion mental instability at its height.

Another friend of Asari, Soki Wokoma, maintained that on this issue, "Muslims can practise their acts, it must not come as a law. It is shameful for Yerima to raise it on the floor of the House."
