The elderly man accused of marrying an underage girl has reacted after his wedding went viral.
Shortly after, a photo from the wedding went viral and sparked outrage, with many asking why an old man should marry a girl that young.
Later, the groom defended his choice, saying: “She is my choice, I married her because we love each other.”
The man has now taken to Facebook to address the public outcry his marriage elicited.
He said his wife is 21 years old, not 11 as claimed, and that it was her choice to marry him too.
In the comment section of his post, many defended him while only a few criticised him.
Emmanuel Eche-Ofun John wrote, “Happy married life to you both. Please, don’t hurt her, she looks too fragile.”
A lady Jameelat Suraj wrote, “I see nothing here. Everyone has his own perspectives. To me I prefer elderly men than younger ones.”
On Twitter, President Muhammadu Buhari’s media aide Bashir Ahmad reacted to the statement, saying “Coming out to state the facts is very, very important.”
