Adultery is a criminal offence in Nigeria but Polygamy is not! Isn't there a contradiction here? How do you take a second wife without committing adultery?

^^both.

Adultery? a "criminal" offence ?

Freiburger: ^^both.

Gbam!!!!!

I hear some polygamous homes are peaceful to an extent. At least the parties know themselves and are known by people. In the case of adultery the wife in house will be living in constant doubt if she does not know about the affair or at least she may also be living in danger if the other woman is the type that is willing to do everything possible to take her place in the home. Adultery often always is dangerous because at the end d wife at home will be the one who will lose a emotionally while the woman outside may gain (even though it may be temporary).

I feel adultery poses greater danger to the home. Albeit, neither of the two is better.

Acidosis: Adultery? a "criminal" offence ?

In Nigeria?
Really?

Both are dangerous.

CrazyMan: Both are dangerous.

Should polygamy be declared an offence punishable by law? Can such a law be enforced in Nigeria?

Are you kidding me...when religions like islam support polygamy 100%, and even some churches practice it. How on earth can the government make it an offense?

The only solution of polygamy is abstinence. Stay clear from it and be contented with your wife...and I can assure you that your life would have a happy ending.

@crazyman, there many monogamists who died miserable cos of marrital troubles.

So adultery is a criminal offence in Nigeria?

Back to work abeg!

MU HE HE HE HE HE HE

When 99% OF NIGERIANS were conceived in adultery?
