Re: [wanabidii] Ndoa za watoto wadogo wa miaka 8

mobhare,

This is pedophilia I swear. How can a grown man of 40 or even 27 for
that matter even contemplate making love to a child of 11? Or 8. It
just chills my blood.

We have heard of cases like these in Kenya along the Coastal areas.
Once a girl can cook something (usually Sima) she's ready for marriage
and that can mean a girl of 12 being married off to a man of 55 even.
For the boy, once he can climb a coconut tree and tap (kugema pombe la
mnazi) coconut wine, he's ready for marriage. That can mean a 14
yr-old boy is married to a 12 yr-old girl. Do they even know what to
do in bed? Mtume !!!

Courage,
Oduor Maurice
