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.

This book was released on 2022-11-20 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this concise exposition and analysis of the essential elements of law with regard to family relations, marital property, and succession to estates in Nigeria covers the legal rules and customs pertaining to the intertwined civic status of persons, the family, and property. After an informative general introduction, the book proceeds to an in-depth discussion of the sources and instruments of family and succession law, the authorities that adjudicate and administer the laws, and issues surrounding the person as a legal entity and the legal disposition of property among family members. Such matters as nationality, domicile, and residence; marriage, divorce, and cohabitation; adoption and guardianship; succession and inter vivos arrangements; and the acquisition and administration of estates are all treated to a degree of depth that will prove useful in nearly any situation likely to arise in legal practice. The book is primarily designed to assist lawyers who find themselves having to apply rules of international private law or otherwise handling cases connected with Nigeria. It will also be of great value to students and practitioners as a quick guide and easy-to-use practical resource in the field, and especially to academicians and researchers engaged in comparative studies by providing the necessary, basic material of family and succession law.

Download or read book Restatement of Customary Law of Nigeria written by Epiphany Azinge and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2013 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of a Restatement is to identify common principles or trends in a particular area of law with the objective of unifying the further development of the law. No other area of law in Nigeria is in need of Restatement as much as Nigeria's customary law. A number of reasons inform this position: (i) the cultural diversity of the country has meant that customary practices differ in so many respects on the same issue; (ii) the oral tradition of the customary system has placed it in the 'endangered species' list; (iii) the paucity of authoritative works on customary law has created a yawning gap for the scholarship in this vital area of law; and (iv) no matter however ignored, customary law continues to play a very significant role in moderating the Nigerian values system in society. Carried out by the Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies this project brings to an end four years of a massive research undertaking involving desk review; field research covering four geo-political zones in Nigeria; collation and analysis of field research findings; testing of field research findings in a stakeholders consultative conference; further desk review to fill in gaps in the literature; and the core restatement work by a select committee of Reporters.

Download or read book Multi tiered Marriage Contracts in Nigeria and the Need for Reforming Nigerian Family Law written by Muhammad Kamaldeen Imam-Tamim and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 888 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study examines the practice of contracting multi-tiered marriage in Nigeria with a view to identifying the reasons why Nigerians celebrate this type of marriage; the legal problems associated with this kind of marriage; how they could affect the operation of family law in Nigeria and whether there is need to reform the Nigerian family law. The nature of the operation of the different systems of marriage in Nigeria is examined in order to show the distinctiveness of each system of marriage and explains how their rules are being applied in practice. The study identifies and highlights some of the legal problems that arise as a result of the celebration of multi-tiered marriage contract so as to determine whether they warrant the reform of family law in Nigeria. The study adopts a qualitative methodology and employs both doctrinal and non-doctrinal methods of legal research. For the doctrinal method, the study uses a qualitative content analysis by analysing contents of library and online based literature, statutes and case laws. For the non-doctrinal method, the study uses semi-structured interview and participant observation to collect empirical data from targeted participants who are selected through non-probablistic convenience and purposive sampling methods. It is found in the study that there are many lacunas in the operation of the three systems of marriage laws in Nigeria. While the unwritten nature of Islamic and customary laws is identified as a major lacuna, the obsoleteness and legal centric attitude of the Marriage Act 1914 are found as the major lacunas in the Act. Many provisions of the Act are also found to be incongruous with the rules of customary and Islamic laws both of which the people highly regard. It is also found that different social, cultural and legal factors contribute to why Nigerians celebrate multi-tiered marriage contracts. Analysis of judgments and responses from the interviews suggests that the contract of multi-tiered marriage is susceptible to legal problems that could affect the couples, the courts and the state. It is also discovered that the weak model of legal pluralism operates in Nigeria and this equally lures couples into contracting multi-tiered marriage. It is therefore suggested that there is a need for legal reform of Nigerian family law by upgrading the weak pluralism to strong model of legal pluralism. The study also proposes a 'pragmatic approach' for the reform exercise, which includes restatement of customary family law, codification of Islamic family law and amendment of the Marriage Act. The study concludes that if the reforms herein suggested are genuinely implemented, they will improve the family law in the country and thus may significantly reduce the rate of divorce. It will also make Nigeria a beacon of reform for other multi-cultural and multi-legal societies.
