The post sparked widespread outrage and raised serious concerns about child marriage and the young girl involved’s safety.
@KingNestle expressed his apparent pride in the now-viral tweet, writing:
“Allahu Akbar my 16-year-old wife was a virgin. May Allah make our marriage last a lifetime.”
The image of the blood-stained bedsheet that accompanied the tweet heightened the controversy surrounding the situation.
My 16-year-old wife was a virgin, says a man as he posts a photo of a blood-stained bedsheet.
He also revealed that he and she have been together since 2019.
