Chaos as Parents and Groom were Arrested Over 15 Year Old Girl's Marriage (PHOTO)

There was chaos at a village in Uganda after local police stormed a wedding ceremony and foiled the marriage of a 15-year-old girl to a 22-year-old man. According to reports,  the ceremony which had kicked off with excitement as the groom expected to take the bride home turned into a fiasco when police swung into action and arrested the parents and the groom.

The girl is said to have dropped out of school, senior two and she is currently four months pregnant. The parents Abdu Kalimu Ngobi and Faridah Kagoya are said to have agreed to marry off their daughter to Talyaka Swaliki after getting Shs 200, 000 and a goat as bride price.
Eye witnesses said that by the time police stormed the place, the bride and groom had  already performed the traditional wedding ceremony locally referred to as Okuwowa and the couple was about to leave.
“The bride and groom were marching to board their waiting car amidst ululations from friends and relatives by the time police arrived. The groom had even put a ring on the bride’s finger as a symbol to confirm that they had been wedded,” Mr Ayub Famba told this reporter.
He said when police arrived, the occasion turned chaotic as relatives and revellers started running away to avoid being arrested.
