In other countries of the world, marriage issues are shared with social media. In those cases, pictures of bridegroom's cellphones, wedding rings and friends are important. But Niger's case is different. There, valuable content comes up as a key issue.

Many of the young people are tempted to see these gift items in social media. Rich gamblers will actually get them to do such things, it is difficult for them to ignore the greed.

The issue of social pressure is not less. Many families are interested in seeing such great gifts. They want their daughter to get a gift. The pressure to get married in young people is made up of young women and girls. When it comes to social pressure, it becomes impossible to ignore it. Social media is also increasing this pressure.

Niger has unaware of the harmful aspects of marriage in young age. After marriage, the education of women is usually stopped after marriage. There are also many cases of sexual and domestic violence. But the childhood does not stop there.
