AN Ondo state family Court in Akure has quashed a forced marriage of a 16 year old Secondary School girl to an Islamic Cleric with eight wives, Alhaji Yusuf Lateef.
Lateef, who is an Ore based cleric was to make the girl who was 15 last year as his ninth wife.
The three man panel led by Justice Aderemi Adegoroye ordered the return of the girl to her family for proper care and education and warned Lateef to stay away from her.
