Looks like getting married without your parent’s permission is now a
crime in Nigeria! Even if you are over the legal age of consent.
28 year old doctor, Nono Orji is claiming that her parents ordered the arrest of her 30 year old husband, Udo Madugba for the “offense of marriage”…
Huh! What the hell is an offense is marriage?
We can’t verify this but it would appear his arrest is because he did
not get his bride’s parent’s permission for marriage…now he’s cooling
his heels in a Nigerian prison.
Read what Nono wrote on her Facebook page below.
