Berbice teen bride attempts suicide –after marriage to ‘too old’ husband

EIGHTEEN-year-old Nalisa Singh, also known as Nalisa Abrahim, allegedly consumed a poisonous substance the day after her marriage to Abikraim Rahaim, when she discovered that the man was too old for her.The couple tied the knot according to Hindu rites on January 18 at Number 68 Village, Upper Corentyne, Berbice. The bride’s mother, Shamiroon Abrahim, related that her 18-year-old daughter of Albion, Lower Corentyne, married Rahaim following a prearranged agreement.
“I did not know she did not like the boy. Why she did not tell me before?” Shamiroon questioned. The boy at reference here is a 40-year-old man.
This newspaper was reliably informed that the man told his newly-wedded wife on the night after the wedding that he was not 36 years old as was previously mentioned, but was instead a 40-year-old father of two adult children.
The revelation scared the teen bride, who thereafter secretly ingested a poisonous substance, but not before informing an older sibling, who took her to the Port Mourant Hospital, from where she was transferred to the New Amsterdam Hospital to be treated.
The teenager was discharged from the health institution yesterday.
