A divorce settlement is an arrangement, adjustment, or
other understanding reached, as in financial or business
proceedings between two adults who have chosen to
divorce .
It serves as the final legal agreement between
these adults for documenting the terms of their divorce.

A divorce settlement entails which spouse gets what
property and what responsibilities once the marriage is
over. "It deals with child custody and visitation, child
support, alimony, health and life insurance, real estate, cars ,
household items, bank accounts , debts , investments ,
retirement plans and pensions , college tuition for children,
and other items of value, such as frequent flyer miles and
country club memberships. Conditions regarding tax
payments, legal names, and provisions for modifying the
agreement may also be included."

that's Wikipedia stuff.... okay, with the way men treat women here these days (like that Nigerian actor marrying another woman without the wife's knowledge), do you think adding this to our law will curb it..?

if yes, why is it that our female law makers have not made any moves on it?

major concern is abuse of d law, but der z room 4 pre- nuptial agreement too....

This is because most women have nothing to offer a man except nagging and sex which he can easily get else where. Also a man can easily get a maid to do all what a house wife will do without any emotional attachment. Most men marry because of societal pressure.
I will personally make sure my son doesn't marry if divorce settlement is introduced in Nigeria.

warped.

OP, this smells like a Nigeria-bashing thread. However, I'd have you know that Nigeria has divorce/divorce settlement provisions in its constitution. Acquaint yourself with them and you may attract edifying discourse on the topic.
