Stella
Damasus has expressed her anger over the controversial under-age marriage law
being discussed in the Senate.
The
Nollywood star and singer trended on social media after posting a video online
condemning the proposed amendment by the Senate, which will mean that a married
girl under the age of 18 is deemed to be an adult.
The
Government is trying to amend Section 21 of the Child's Rights Act of Nigeria
which nullifies the marriage of persons under the age of 18.
Meanwhile,
35 Nigerian senators have voted to ensure that the new bill becomes law.
