A recent marriage ceremony has ignited widespread discussion on social media platforms after a 63-year-old man tied the knot with a 12-year-old girl.
Identified as Gborbu Wulomo Of Nungua, the man’s decision to marry someone significantly younger has raised eyebrows and prompted reactions from various quarters.
In response to the public outcry, the Nungua Mantse, known as King Odaifio Welenttsi III, has defended the controversial marriage.
He cited religious scripture from Leviticus 21:13, which emphasises marrying a young virgin from one’s own community.
The union has drawn sharp criticism online, with many questioning the appropriateness and legality of such a marriage, particularly given the significant age difference and the young age of the bride.
