Parent sorry for forcing his daughter into marriage

Parents to the 16 year-old girl apologized to Simanje Basic School authorities in Itezhi-zeshi for their intentions to marry off their daughter in exchange for cattle wealth.

In the presence of both Police and School authorities today, Mr. Davy Liso admitted his plans to marry off Fridah Liso a grade nine pupil at school saying he regretted for his actions.

“I have brought myself to you to apologize unreservedly for my evil intention to marry off my School-going daughter at such an early age and I vow never to do that again,” said Mr Liso.

Mr Liso urged other parents in the District to desist from forcing their children into early marriages.

Last week, School authorities working together with Police Victim Support Unit stopped the marriage plot for which parents to Fridah Liso had forced her to stop school in exchange for marriage.

And District Education Board Secretary Mr Munamukuni Shandele directed Mr Liso to take the girl back to School so that she could finish her education.

  3. Jamaco you & I must brainstorm on how to help the Germans increase their BSP (Bruttosozialprodukt) or GDP in english, otherwise our jobs will soon be at stake.

  4. You are right!! Now and out… shootings pa Studio are waiting. Later Bloggers :-h:-h:-h:-h:-h:-h:-h

  5. Does this story refer 2da 67 to 17 year old? Ba LT u r too misleading at tyms.U put pics 4sumthing contrally 2da context,muchinje.
    To u Mr Liso think b4 u act,nonsense.

  6. Shame on you, what a bad parent.If the school authorities and Victim support unit did not get involved, you couldn’t have come to your senses.The next time you fail to reason, the police should give you a very good beating. Life is not all about marriage especially at the age of 16 or 17.

  7. #8 Ba Moze,

    I love your pattern of thought, though you have sunk so low to go tribal. Bad parenting has nothing to do with tribe. Let us condemn the illegal act and not the tribe.

  8. Good for him to apologise. But lets watch him. He might have gotten some Ng’ombe somewhere. You know people who sale a plot to more than one person???? watch him

  9. That man should be taken for three weeks counselling at any of the Zambia police stations.This way,he will truly appologise and stop his primitive animal behaviour.

  10. **==

    the husband who ‘was’ 2be must be very annoyance!! bamupoka pa gun point zoona!! parents plz, why..you dont want your child even to blog in future(coz they should know how to write and contribute to national issues)..Nafulwa sana!!!>:)

  11. Zambia Association of Early Marriages CEO Pan Dule has bemoaned cases of early marriages be annulled.

  12. I just pray that the would-be husband didn’t “taste” first, ka? These chaps like to sample first. LT, next time show us a picture of chaps like this so that we know them. Kutumpa oku!

  13. i like it coz its only my favourite bloggers that are always ahead of me,nine chale i also want the manual.

    parent iwe next timeyou will be crucified,ala you risk your daughters life just for cattle.

  14. They have taken away the girls innocence. She has tasted sex at the highest level. she needs de-sexing. I pity her. willput her in prayers. let her succeed in school to give a testimony on bad parents. yaba kwena tonga land. Even if it’s tonga balls or sorry bulls or anywhere else this is not acceptable.

  15. The father is guilty. we need to take him to jail for failing toprovide the basic necessity for his family. he should not be left scot free for spoiling her future and letting her indulge in sex instead of concentrating on school. How can he displine his daughters ifthey start indulging in sex early. Zambia God Bless and redeem us.

  16. what aparent atase, iwe chale mwipushe bwino umwaice limbi kutialinalyo mumala cause these guys they dont . kayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

  17. This is child abuse. who will protect the children , if even the parents who are suppossed to protect them are abusing them.
    The parent must be sent to jail.ASAP.
    But , if he is sorry, then we can 4give him.

  18. he should show his sincere apologies by demonstrating to other men out there that he is an agent of change

  19. The girl should be supported so that she completes school.Take it up FAWEZA. Correction ba LT, Simanje Basic School is in Namwala district and not in ITT.
