A shocking incident has emerged from Kaduna State, where a teenage girl reportedly hand was amputated after refusing a forced marriage. The case has drawn widespread condemnation from human rights groups, who describe it as a horrifying violation of the rights and dignity of young girls. Activists warn that while forced marriages may be declining in some areas, extreme punishments like this highlight the urgent need for protection and enforcement of existing laws.
The incident has intensified calls for immediate government action. Advocates are demanding a thorough investigation, justice for the victim, and stronger measures to prevent such brutal practices in the future. There are growing demands for public awareness campaigns and stricter enforcement of child protection laws to ensure that declining rates of forced marriage translate into real safety and freedom for teenage girls across Kaduna State.
