Dr. Peregrino Brimah is just trying to defend his religion against his conscience.

That you are in support does not make your argument valid no matter how you force it with your deceptive and poor research.

"Any child married is of age", why is our constitution saying you must be18 before you can vote. It is simply assumed that is the time you can make a concrete decision on your own.

If that is the case, why sell a young girl all in the name of religion.

biafranqueen: Is this what the OP is hoping for? First picture Yemen 2nd Picture India

Superego: Nairaland,

I am Dr. Peregrino Brimah, here to take your questions.

Please put questions and comments as clearly as possible, so i can address them and we can discuss them together.

Let this be constructive and free of derogatory reference as much as possible please. I myself will try to do so.

Great!
What age do you personally think a girl is ready to be married?
Do you have a daughter?
At what age is Pelvic Maternal growth complete?
There is a large population of single women in the North, especially in the Northern cities, due to the high divorce rate, why is that?

raeez: and how old was mary when she married joseph

I think 12 - 14

raeez: and how old was mary when she married joseph

I am not talking about ancient times am a mother and an Auntie and I know that my girls are not even ready or mature at 18 to marry any one! My grandfather was 20 and my grandmother was 15 when they married in the village. She was happy to marry him and loved him with all her heart I recently spoke to the Queen mother of our Igwe she was a maid in the Palace at 12 the Queen mother at the time was so impressed with her she ASKED [/b]her does she think [b]she could love her son she said that she was already in Love with the the Prince so they were promised to marry at 13. I am not saying that it did not happen in Igbo culture but it was not by force. We are now in 2013 we can not go backwards girls want to be educated just as much as boys. Just because we married young in ancient times or even in the 40s and 30s does not make it right now. We have matured as a society we want our children of all ages to complete there education and have the right to chose when they are ready to marry.
Raeez are you married? Do you have a daughter?

In no instance is marriage by force allowed or encouraged. Islam is a religion that is comparatively favorable to the right to divorce. islam accords women the right of instant divorce, so what will be the use of forcing a lady to marriage when she can divorce you 10 seconds later.

Deschil: I googled the fool: Aziz Peregrino-Brimah. I had even thought he was a Medical Doctor. Can someone please tell me how someone who studied Psychology from "Livingstone College" became a Dr. Is that of Medicine or a PhD? Confused impostor. http://www.linkedin.com/in/azizpbrimah

Very interesting St. Peters Church and World Outreach hum I think I will send his article to his Oga at the top. Since he has already exposed himself would I be breaking rule number 10 or do I have your consent DRBrimah?

Quite a very long post.

Adamskuty: So mary got fvcked at d age of 12 according to the bible.. Hmm! Nawaa ooh!

The bible i know of contains no such thing, so i can't really fathom where that guy got that appalling statement from. Anyway i'd like to state a few things here.
{re-call luke 1vs28 ...blessed art thou among women} Would you refer to a 17yrs old girl as a woman? [/color]Infact it takes marriage to refer to a 23 yrs old lady as a woman! Yet, Mary wasn't married yet she was being referred to as a woman [color=#990000] which simply implies she wasn't a minor, teen or a naive chap.

[/color] Now lets generally consider this scenerio


[ 6yrs after retrenchment from a well paid Federal appointment]

<The landlord approaches Mr Ibu>
Mr Saka- I'm sorry Ibu my good friend but according to court orders you'll have to sublime in two weeks
Mr Ibu- I promise i'll settle you once i'm done with d payment of the 15million naira loan i took while in service in the next 10years
Mr Saka- If i hear! After living in here for complete 5yrs without a rent?
Mr Ibu-<blushes> I didn't choose to live this way too... How i wish i had other means to pay
Mr Saka- {eyes opens wide} Of course you do, it's only that you ain't wise enough to do the right tin
Mr Ibu-<cheers up> I do?
<scene goes on and on>
Light fades.
[color=#990000]
Mr Ibu- My daughter, you see, before your mother breath her last breath i promised to take care of u
Sonia- Which you've always done daddy
Mr Ibu- Sonia, the landlord will drive us out of his house into the cold tomorro
Sonia- but why daddy....<close to tears> i don't like cold.
Mr Ibu- The only option we're left with is you marrying Mr Saka
Sonia-[smiling] Daddy when will you stop using big big grammars... How do you mean Marry?
Mr Ibu- Marry? It simply means living with someone who's more caring than daddy
Sonia- Really?
Mr Ibu- yea but as time goes on you'll understand beta
Sonia- That's awesome cul daddy, i like it

[color=#000000][/color]
++ he had simply taken advantage of the naitivity of the young girl++

now what happens after....


[ Sonia kept screaming amist tears]

Sonia- I want to see my Daddy! I want to go home!
Mr Saka- This is now your home, you're married to me
Sonia-{amist uncontrollable tears} Plsssss plssss let me go plssss
Mr Saka- You are now mine, dear
Sonia- I'm not your dear, "my father told me" that i should marry u not be your wife! You old bastard!

++confusion++

Mr Saka- Will you shut up! My last child who is 25yrs older than you dare not insult me!!! My 5th wife is 19yrs older than you yet she dares not insult me!!! My grandchildren are atleast 5yrs older than you yet they there not insult me! Now you this 8yrs old wife of mine has the got to.... <continues to rant>

++Imagine the emotional stress this young girl has faced @the very tender age of hers++.

<Grandchildren comes visiting. Rahi 13yrs, Beti 15, Louis 19 and Helen 23>

Mr Saka- Sonia!
Sonia- {amist tears} Sir!
Mr Saka- These are my grandchildren, there daddy brought them this morning.
Sonia-{amist severe tears} Let me go and live with my daddy too
Mr Saka- Get inside!
Rahi- Why's she crying grandpa
Mr Saka- She's naughty
Rahi- Why did u take her away from her daddy?
Mr Saka- don't mind her
Helen-<chuckles> Is that the new wife mum n dad talks about @night?
Mr Saka- {blushes} you mean...
Rahi- Sis is this not the repulsive act you told me of?
Helen- oh! Of course it is baby brother
Rahi- Then grandpa must be really really really wicked

on and on and on and on!

[@ the hospital]

Doctor- {Mr Saka and Ibu sitted right before him} Well, Mr Saka, you see, we tried our very best..... Your daughter is dead.
Mr Ibu- you mean my daughter's dead?
{Doctor stares at Mr Saka}
Mr Saka- She's actually my wife
Doctor- What! She's just only 9yrs! Oh, little wonder why she suffered from an acute Nervous tension and shock which lead to a devastating conjurctivitis which lead to the brain tumor that developed towards the from hemisphere of the.......
Mr Saka- oh God!
Doctor- but she left a very shocking message for you guys before she died....

Why is the divorce rate so high among Muslims even though I respect Dangote when it comes to business is he a great example being married 3 times to Muslims?

Why if getting married protects females that Northern women have the highest rates of HIV in the country?

Do you know most of the women who eventually divorce those men forced on them are disowned by their families. Imagine a 13year old with no skills or education and her family has warned her not to to think of coming back home, what are the choices open to such a girl. So they stay in their "prison" till the old man tires of them and throws them out in exchange of a new 13year old.

There are women whose lives were threatened by their own families for daring to leave an unhappy marriage since they consider it as bringing shame upon the family. So no, its not easy to get out.

Being disowned by your family means you have a useless family that does not even deserve to have you in the first place. But what does this have to do with the discussion please? And nor is divorce and replacing wives characteristic of young marriages. Divorce rates globally are 50% In north Nigeria it is actually less.

Please, let us try to focus on the topic so I can give answers to as many questions to me as possible.

Thanks

It will prove your superior morality, over those who marry 'children' if you desist from posting people who bear my name and I may or may not be related to in this derogatory fashion on nairaland.

Aren't you of high morals?

OP, you should be ashamed of yourself. An impostor coming on here to pose as a Dr. and insult the intelligence of Nigerians... SHAME ON YOU!

Is this and 'me', all this is going to be about here?

Guys, we have a very important topic that has caused mass protests and revolution in Nigeria. s it worth discussing on nairaland or we'd rather just display our high morality by tossing verbal insults and derogatory, slanderous comments around?


Do we have some questions and points here? Anyone please>>>>

muslim are deceiver believe that pedophile called berima at ur own risks and perils

Deschil: You must be stupid. You can't confirm your own identity and save your face. I will be offline for a bit but I will return to address your arrant stupidity.

I'll entertain this last one from you.

Again, I repeat, this conversation is not about me. I am looking forward to TV interviews and discussions on the topic soon. Stay tuned.

Have a lovely night, Sir/maam

Actually you mentioned that it is easy for such girls to get a divorce and my response was to prove to you that it actually isn't. Also any family that marries out their child to a useless old man has already estalished that they are useless since they have failed in their primary role of protecting their child. Also anything that relates to the fate of a child bride both in the short or long run is relevant to this discussion as the aim is to see if such marriages are actually in the favour of such children or not.

Also since you claimed to be a Doctor, the poster above is very correct to ask you how and when you became one sinceif your claimed cannot be substantiated then you would be in essence a fraud.

So how are we to know and be sure you are truely a doctor? And what is your specialization ? You seem to take people for fools here.

Dear Tatiana,

Thanks for your questions.

1. Today,w e are discussing the constitution=the law. We are rioting about the law. That people violate whatever is written is another usually uncontrollable factor in life.

The law states- mature women can marry
A woman if married has the absolute right to divorce her husband anytime she wishes.

Do you have any problem with the above submissions? Those are the Islamic view points. Please understand that it will be rather hard for me to have a conversation of facts like the overwhelming errors of Muslims, Christians, Jews or animists in obeying laws strictly. Female genital mutilation is at 98% in Osun state according to some stats, this in violation of Nigeria's laws. The error is not that of the law, is it? http://www.fgmnetwork.org/gonews.php?subaction=showfull&id=1186520964&


My personal life, again is not an issue for this forum and definitely not for this topic. Thanks for understanding.

Superego: Nairaland,

I am Dr. Peregrino Brimah, here to take your questions.

Let this be constructive and free of derogatory reference as much as possible please. I myself will try to do so.

Are you the op? You're a doctor of what?
What of educating the girl? What of empowering her economically?
Does it not bother that the North is supplying the nation all the negative indices of poverty, disease and illiteracy? Don't you see the link btw child marriage and maternal and infant mortality?
Pls read Uwais' article on fp and stop exposing your perverted mindset

Since you can't even prove that you are a Dr of anything, I believe that you are a fraud.Your professional qualification is something you should be proud to share if it wasn't a lie. So next time, tell us your views without claiming to be what you are not. Just apologise and go to bed.
