One of the post from a critic:

“People are asking why this girl’s parent accepted this.
Some report says she’s 17, some say she just turned 18.
Two things:
1. Poverty
2. Religious fanaticism.
“Poverty:
Imagine being poor and a man who you know can take care of your child comes for her hand in marriage. You’re happy. Maybe he can also help in taking care of the younger ones (because it doesn’t look like she has older siblings). She becomes a sacrificial lamb sacrificed on the altar of provision.
“2. Religious fanaticism:
A man Of God comes to you saying your daughter who’s barely an adult is the one God said he should marry. You can’t say No. He’s the God you see on earth and you believe every word he says so you give her away even though there is a tiny little voice telling you it isn’t okay.
“The bride is brainwashed into thinking this is the best thing that can happen to her. She should be happy she got chosen, a lot of woman would kïłł to be in her shoes.
She gets the title of Mommy.
She isn’t given the chance to be.
This man could have gone for a matured woman, a woman who understands the ministry and life in general but she might be hard to control and who doesn’t want someone they can control?
