Invited guests at a wedding in Ablekuma, in Ga Central, were left dumbfounded when a 13-year-old Junior High School (JHS) form one girl (name withheld) was forced to marry her older sister�s boyfriend. The groom, 25-year-old Mustapha Mohammed, a Ghanaian domiciled in Libya, had returned to the country to marry his lover when his bride disappeared a few hours to the wedding. After waiting for hours with no sign of the bride showing up, the younger sister opted to take the place of the older sister and married Mustapha to the surprise of the guests at the wedding ceremony. The incident, which happened last Sunday, has left residents talking about the bizarre situation. The young girl spent the night with the husband in the same room; she was also not able to go to school yesterday, probably enjoying her honeymoon. The young girl told Joy News in an interview: �I don�t want my mother and my father to cry�. She criticized her elder sister�s action, saying, �What my sister did was not good�she ran away� but did not know why the sister did that and wanted to save her parents from shame. Information gathered by DAILY GUIDE indicated that the groom had been in a relationship with the 18-year-old sister of the girl for some time now and had decided to marry her last weekend. It was therefore unclear what might have been the cause of her sudden disappearance and the decision by her sister to take her place. �Her reason for marrying her sister�s man was to avert the humiliation that the family could go through if the wedding ceremony did not take place,� a source said. The newlyweds are said to be living in the same room since Sunday. The husband, Mustapha Mohammed, narrated to Joy News the near disgrace the girl�s sister caused both families by absconding on the very day they had agreed to marry, and at a time when elders from both families had gathered and seated ready for the ceremony to commence. He explained after a long search without success, and to avoid any embarrassment to either side, he agreed to marry the 13-year-old girl after he was prevailed upon to do so. The man told Joy News he intended leaving the young girl after a week or so to where he �hustles� for a living, to enable the girl to further her education.
