If Angel, is only 1the news is valid that the Benue bride-to-be , 6, has just completed her SSCE and is getting married because she's uncertain about sponsorship for her post-secondary education , then this is not just a wedding, it is a colossal failure of our society.

The decision for marriage should resonate with maturity and not a rescue from poverty.
