Money marriage refers to a marriage where a girl, usually, is married off to a man to settle debts owed by her parents.[1][2] The female is referred as amoney wife. Money marriage is known to be a practice in Becheve, in southernNigeria in Cross River State, where girls as young as three get married in such a way.

The tradition is said to still be practiced despite being illegal in Nigeria.[3]
