girl of 15 years old kill her husband with rat poison

Nigeria a girl of 15 year old accused of killing his husband of 35 year old with a rat poison. The teenager was charged with culpable homicide and faced a possible death sentence if convicted of deliberately lacing a meal she cooked for her husband Umar Sani with rat poison. Sani and four others died within hours a media source said. Activists, who celebrated as she was acquitted, had used the case to highlight the issue of child marriage, which is common in mainly Muslim northern Nigeria. They argued she should be treated as a victim but Wasila's family maintain she was not forced into marriage and that 15 was a standard marrying age in the region. Her defence lawyer Hussaina Aliyu  called for the case to be dismissed on the grounds the prosecution had failed to establish her intent to kill Sani and exactly how he died.
