Anambra couple’s wedding photos spark backlash over obvious age difference

Photos said to be from an Anambra wedding is going viral due to the age difference between the bride and her groom. 

The photos shared online show the groom, who appears to be middle-aged, posing in traditional attire with a girl who looks quite young enough to be his daughter. 

Some social media users have claimed the bride is still a teenager, but this has not been confirmed. 
 

The photos sparked mixed reactions, with some saying it is underage marriage and should not be encouraged. Others said as long as the bride is not under duress, the marriage is legitimate. 

Some northerners have opined that the reason the union is not getting as much backlash is because the wedding is not between two northerners, otherwise it would have been termed child abuse. 

Many have compared their marriage to the marriage of actress Regina Daniels and politician Ned Nwoko.
