Senator Yerima has been at the receiving end of harsh criticisms by angry Nigerians for kicking against section 29 (a) of the proposed constitutional amendment, which states that a Nigerian girl can only qualify for marriage when she is at least 18 years old. He claimed that the provision contradicts Islamic law.
