The Saudi Ministry of Justice on Tuesday announced the prohibition of the marriage of persons under 18 years.The Minister of Justice and Chairman of the Supreme Judicial Council, Sheikh Walid Al-Samaani, issued the new directive in a circular sent to all the courts in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

In the circular released on Tuesday, the minister directed that marriage requests are to be referred to the specialised court to complete the formalities in line with the Child Protection Law and while implementing the established regulations. This is not the first time the Saudi authorities would move to curtail and regulate underage marriages in the country.

Arewa Twitter.......

Good and some bastard in north does that

Omojuwa A win for sanity

Gbam, God bless them

Over to our oversabi version still thinking a 12 year old is a wife material....

Hope our moslem brothers are listening? Before islamising the constitution, let compliance start now

Women can now drive. Now marriage of under 18 prohibited. Wawu... lovely...

Northern Nigeria,howfar?

God bless the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia!

Please how is Yerima, it's been long I heard about him. I wonder where some people got what they practise in the name of religion

And so, that's their own business

Nice👍

Marrying someone before the age of 18 in arewa and many part of the world has nothing to do with religion. It's a tradition to many tribes and that's even why we have customary courts in Nigeria to cater for things that are customary. Use Abit of your sense.

Men are seeing the light

_saz_k

Finally

These people have spoiled market for Senator Yerima

I hope those our brothers with excess lubricity who hide behind religion to acquire children are listening and can now make attempts to spare innocent Douglas Pouches.

I totally support this. A welcome development indeed. No society can develop without developing the girl child. Marriage before 18 is an uncessary distraction.

A welcome development to the Islamic world

Even in US under 18 marriage is not banned.

What will ArewaTwitter say now?!

Loud it to my brethren that still feel that marrying an under age is societal thing in this country. *ITS BAD TO MARRY AN UNDERAGE GIRL ITS CHILD ABUSE*

Where are our people who justify that once a girl hit puberty she is to be married off? How about those who validate child marriages in the North as a means of curbing WOMEN from premarital desires?

They finally have him where they want him! They will milk for life...

iMartynz Arewa Twitter are we there?

Michelleagoh This isn't right tho, what doctrine are they relying on?

Good

Can MBS just sound this vuvuzela to the North!!!

Saudi is really impressing me. Getting liberated from religious setbacks.

ArewaTwitter 👂

Arewa group won't see or read this. Set of stupid people

This royal family are really disobeying prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam

Do you think Allah will crucify him for this blasphemy ? He is going against the verdict of Koran?

Northern Nigeria hausaland, come over here and see your master

Let someone help me tell Yerima of Zamfara state and others.

Lmaooooooo.. Saudi Arabia is disobeying the prophet. 😂

Nigeria how far

I hope there will be no riot in Kano, kaduna and other part of the north. Why will Saudi Arabia do dis during Christmas period now?

....Loud, Louder, Loudest!

ArewaTwiter Make una come chop o.

Cc Arewa Twitter

Arewa Twitter, see it oh!

You see! If you must copy me, copy well

Making progress

Ariwa leaves group and deletes group asap.
