According to reports, a boy was allegedly forced to marry a girl whom he impregnated in Anambra state. It was learnt that the boy got the lady pregnant and her family resolved that he should marry her due to her condition.

The low-key wedding was attended by few family members and friends of the couple.

Chinedu Okpala, the former Coordinator of National Youths Council of Nigeria in Aguata LGA, Anambra state, has called on activists, well meaning individuals both National and International, National Youth’s Council of Nigeria (NYCN), National Council of Women’s Societies (NCWS), FIDA, Federal Ministry of Women affairs, and all the relevant organizations, to look into the alleged forced union between the young couple as it appears they are not ‘ready’ for marriage considering they have ‘no means of livelihood’.
