An 18-year-old lady has revealed how she found
herself getting married at the age of 14 years
and became a widow when she was 15 years old.
According to Divine, she was born and brought
up in a remote village. She dropped out of school
in her first year of secondary school after a nman
paid her dowry and asked for her hand in
marriage.
According to her, in that village young girls get
married at a young age to older men old enough
to be their fathers or grandfathers. When her
parents received the dowry, they gave her out to
the man but for her, she was lucky to be married
to a young man.
She immediately got pregnant and after 9
months, she delivered her firstborn. When she
was 15 years her husband was killed by thugs
when he was trying to prevent them from
stealing his cows.
At that time, she was 4 months pregnant. She is
now a mother of two children. A good Samaritan
took her in but it is hard for her to get a job since
she is not educated. She is requesting well-
wishers to help her pay her school fees to be of
help to her children in the future.
