“…Nigeria's regional socioeconomic disparities are explained by a history of colonisation (the Southern coastal regions being more accessible for trade) (Jacob & George, 2014), an oil driven economy, political corruption, and a long history of military rule, militarism and ethnonationalism (Metumara, 2010).

Abstract'Early marriage' is a relatively common, but under-researched global phenomenon, associated with poor health, mental health, educational and occupational outcomes, particularly for young girls. In this article, we draw on qualitative interviews with 6Nigerian women from Sokoto State, who were married between the ages of 8 and 15. The interviews explored young women's experiences of the transition to marriage, being married, pregnancy and their understanding of the marital and parental role. UsingInterpretive Phenomenological Analysis, we explore women's constrained articulations of their experiences of early marriage, as they are constituted within a social context where the identity of 'woman' is bound up in values and practices around marriage and motherhood.We explore the complexity of 'hearing' women's experiences when their identities are bound up in culturally overdetermined ideas of femininity that function explicitly to silence and constrain the spaces in which women can speak.
