According to Section 29(4) (b), ”any woman who is married shall be deemed to be of full age.”It means that even a child if married can be seen to be of full age and as such can renounce citizenship.
Senator Yerima who married a beautiful 13-year-old girl kicked against it. He mobilised his fellow Muslims Senators to threaten to cause confusion on the senate floor.
After Yerima continued his objection, Senate President David Mark called for another vote.
At this point the Senators who were in favour of this clause could no longer muster 2/3 of the votes that will retain Section 29, Clause 4 (b).
Senators still voted 60 votes to 35 votes for the clause to be deleted, but it did not satisfy the 2/3 requirement and so, according to the senate version,“any woman who is married shall be deemed to be of full age.”
