Two arrested for marrying off 16 year old girl in Rongo

[Cortedivoire]

The girl is a Form Two student at Mbani Secondary School.

According to a report from Rongo Sub-County Hospital, a 30-year-old man picked up the girl from her home in North Kamagambo.

The man identified as Giftophila Odoyo is said to have sealed a marriage agreement with the girl’s family.

He then decided that they go for a HIV test at the hospital before proceeding to his home in Homa Bay.

A nurse who realized that the girl was underage is said to have alerted the police about the marriage.

This is a very sensitive topic to address. Was she forced? I don't think so, considering they even went for an hiv test.
Is it right to marry at 16? Big question.

Even if she wasn't forced she could have been coerced. A child is a child, no ifs or buts.

True, only thing you haven't put into perspective is, in some areas that's the age at which girls get married off.
Not to say it's right but....
