A 17-year-old girl from a refugee camp in Daadab has been brutally murdered and her body set on fire after refusing to be married off to a 55-year-old man.

The teenager was killed after refusing to submit to the demands of the 55-year-old man. She had been forcefully married off in an arranged marriage and was taken from her home in Daagale refugee camp.

When she arrived at the home of her husband-to-be, she was terrified. Her defiance resulted in beatings, and she eventually succumbed after enduring 27 days of abuse.

In her final moments before her death, she sent a chilling audio recording narrating how the 55-year-old man had been assaulting her since she started living with him.

On Saturday, March 22, 2025, she made a distress call to her mother, fearing for her life after enduring continuous torture since moving in with the man.

The next call her family received was from a relative informing them of her death. According to her mother, she received the call at around 2:00 a.m. informing her that her daughter had been tortured, placed on a mattress, and set on fire.

This incident has ignited outrage across social media platforms, with many Kenyans calling for justice.

Say NO to forced marriage. The perpetrators should be brought to book

The principles underpinning religion have the potential to yield more beneficial outcomes if they aren't tied to the notion of a superhuman authority dictating the rules of marriage.

It's crucial to recognize the significant impact that these directives have had on human society.

Consequently, it's important to critically evaluate the genuine value of following such practices.

As for me, I take a stand similar to that of Pilate, who distanced himself from the responsibility for Jesus' death. I have made a decisive choice to do the same regarding religious matters.

Until women begin to see all men as apex predators hunting them, the rape, abuse and deletion of women by men will keep happening. Will you see a lion and leave yourself defenseless?

The whole world is sick because of these men who commit all sorts of atrocities. Women should start practicing selective breeding so we can reduce or eliminate them. Donโ€™t let your son hurt other peopleโ€™s female children. Nature is helping us out but we need to also play our part.

How old was former Zamfara governor and sinator when he married the 13 year old girl?

How old was Ned Nwoko when he tore into Regina?

Are they in jail?

Yes, But he didn't force the girl to marry him. That's the difference.

There seems to be a double standard when it comes to criticising Islam. When an Igbo or Yoruba Christian man marries a teenager, Christianity won't be criticised; however, when a Muslim does the same, Islam and Prophet Muhammad's influence are immediately blamed.

Peter Obi married a 17-year-old minor, yet neither he nor Christianity was criticised for it. Obidients are trying so hard to avoid the topic, but they are quick to condemn others. This highlights the inconsistent standards applied to different individuals based on their religious affiliations.

Numerous challenges arise in refugee camps, where many women face food shortages. In some cases, they're offered food in exchange for sexual favours. Those who refuse these advances are left to starve. In this instance, the predator took advantage of a vulnerable and starving girl. Her parents, hoping to reduce the burden of feeding more mouths and potentially provide her with a better life, married her off to the 55 years old man, unaware of his true nature.

Moreover, the custom of marrying teenagers has been present in various societies long before the advent of Islam and is deeply ingrained in many cultures worldwide. This practice extends beyond Arab societies and can even be found within your own tribe. It is crucial to emphasise that the forceful marriage and murder should be condemned, rather than the perpetuators' religion. Just as Igbos would rather have people denounce drug trafficking instead of unfairly judging their entire tribe, it is vital to address harmful actions without generalising or targeting an entire religion or ethnic group.



Peace!
