Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main purpose of the research was to collect and collate the relevant evidence of the legal status of Nigerian women in marriage and family life. The research was motivated by the relative lack of information on all aspects of women's life. Although a voluminous literature on the Nigerian peoples exists, references to women are incidental - necessary but insignificant adjuncts to discussions of and about men. No substantial legal work on Nigerian women has so far been published. It is in the absence of any comprehensive previous study of the legal status of women in marriage that the present work finds its justification. Women's status in the three types of legally recognized marriages in Nigeria is examined in detail. The thesis is divided into five parts. Part one, consisting of two chapters, is introductory, and covers the historical and legal background necessary for the proper appreciation of the topics discussed later. In part two, the status of women in customary law marriage is examined. The types of marriage, dowry, and the incidents and dissolution of customary marriage are dealt with in six chapters. The impact made on women's status by foreign forms of marriage is discussed in part three. Chapter IX covers marriage according to Islamic law, while women's status in statutory marriage in relation to the formation, incidents and dissolution of marriage forms the subject matter of chapters X and XI. The property rights of married women are dealt with in part four. In chapter XII, women's property rights during marriage are discussed, while in chapter XIII, their rights of succession to property are examined. Part five is the concluding part. The research methods embraced intensive reading in the relevant libraries and archives in London and Nigeria, supplemented by six months of field-work in selected areas of Nigeria.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third edition of an established and leading book on family law in Nigeria. Since the last edition in 1990 significant judicial and statutory enactments have taken place in the area of study. The new edition incorporates these changes and explains their implications. The chapters have been comprehensively re-written to reflect the changes in the law and to update all relevant information including the Same Sex Bill and the Nigerian Law Reform Commissions draft Marriage Act. New chapters have been included on domestic violence and widowhood respectively to reflect the continuing developments in Nigerian family law. The new Child's Right Act of 2003 and the similar state legislations have been analysed in the three new chapters. The non-customary law rules in the intestate succession have been extensively recast to reflect the provisions of the Marriage act as contained in the Lawa of the Federation of Nigeria 2004. This edition has devoted considerable attention to the applicable customary laws on the family and provides extensive treatment of Islamic Law Rules and their interpretations and application by the superior court. Familu law in Nigeria presents a fresh view not only on the applicable rules on Nigerian family law but also suggest new directions and underlines the socio-economic implications.
Download or read book Child Marriage in Nigeria Human Rights and the Islamic Law Perspectives written by Ammar Badmus and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is an attempt to deal with Child Marriage in the perspective of Human Rights Laws and Islamic Law with a view to laying bare the two positions and giving possible solution(s) to create a successful meeting point on the issue of Child Marriage which has triggered such controversies and debate in Nigeria and the world at large.The issue of Child Marriage is a highly charged, sensitive, controversial and emotional matter. This controversy surrounding Child Marriage in Nigeria became more prominent when the former Governor of Zamfara State married a 13year old Egyptian girl-child. Against the backdrop of this provocative marriage is the debate that was later generated on the floor of the Senate where the same Senator and some others reportedly argued for the recognition of Child Marriage. The methodology of this research will be based on historical, analytical and doctrinal approaches in gathering related data. Data so collected would be scrutinized and discussed in order to reach a logical conclusion. The work has examined the problem of child marriage in Nigeria as regards its position under the Human Rights laws and Islamic Law perspectives thereby shedding more light on the lacuna and contradictions apparent in the Human Right laws and the provisions of the Shariah on child marriage. A brief Constitutional position on the issue of child marriage is discussed in this work and the conclusion was made that there is a need for the government to take active responsibility in determining the age of a minor in relation to child marriage based on socio-religious lifestyle of Nigerians and the realities of womanhood. It is with sincere belief and hope that readers are benefited greatly with this research work and the fact that this work is assumed to be a pioneer academic research on this topic, it is expected that more work that look into other areas that have not been captured by this work would be written and published. The author would be gratified by such further works on this issues or related topics.Thank you for your attention and time.Ammar Olaide BadmusJan' 2020
