Ex-Liverpool ace Sadio Mane forced to put honeymoon with teenage wife Aisha on hold due to her parents' strict demands after marriage

Liverpool legend Sadio Mane and his 18-year-old wife Aisha Tamba have been forced to put their honeymoon on hold. This is because Aisha's parents want her to complete her final school exams first.

The 31-year-old football star got married in a private ceremony on January 9 in Dakar, Senegal. Mane reportedly wanted to have his honeymoon after the AFCON but it appears as if the couple will have to put their plans on hold for the time being.

Sadio Mane's best friend, Moussa Ndiaye described the couple's plans as he told MailOnline (via GOAL):

"Sadio was hoping to have a honeymoon at some point either after the final, if Senegal get there or before, if they are eliminated. But Aisha's family want her to remain focused on her education. She has very important exams coming up and they don't want this marriage getting in the way."

He added:

"Even though she is now married to Sadio, who is the most famous man in Senegal, she is still a schoolgirl and needs to complete her studies."

Mane is currently in the Ivory Coast, captaining Senegal for the upcoming AFCON. He will be aiming to help his country retain their title after they won the prestigious competition two years ago, while he still played for Liverpool.
