Kano的埃米尔说,尼日利亚北部童婚潮的起因是女孩缺乏学校和就业机会,而不是文化。 Northern Nigeria's child marriage surge stems from lack of schools and jobs for girls, not culture, says Kano's Emir.

卡诺酋长Muhammadu Sanusi II说,尼日利亚北部缺少中学和对女孩的职业培训是童婚的主要驱动因素,而不是文化。 The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, says the lack of secondary schools and vocational training for girls in northern Nigeria is a primary driver of child marriage, not culture. 贫穷家庭因担心会面临怀孕或前往远方学校的危险而早早嫁女儿。 Speaking on Channels Television, he explained that without safe, accessible education or economic opportunities, poor families marry daughters early out of fear they’ll face pregnancy or danger traveling to distant schools. 他批评童婚法执行不力以及政府未能提供基本的基础设施,强调结束这种做法需要投资于教育和社会服务,而不是指责传统。 He criticized weak enforcement of child marriage laws and government failure to provide basic infrastructure, stressing that ending the practice requires investing in education and social services rather than blaming tradition.
