I really do appreciate this knowledge shared. However, if am not mistaken your write up also implies that an unlicensed church wedding (aka party as you stated) makes allowance for another church wedding (maybe licensed) if he/she so desires. #IStandToBeCorrected |

Barrister in the house, please can you provide a robust response to these 2 questios: 1. My lady friend got married 6 years ago, the husband abandoned her like 4 years ago. He just left the house and couldn't be traced. They did registry wedding. He didn't even know what his child looked like as he disappeared while the wife was pregnant. My friend was browsing the Internet when she discovered that he has remarried since 2 years ago at ikoyi registry. No divorce, nothing. What legal posture could my friend take to address this injustice?. 2. I want to know if it's only ikoyi registry that embassies recognised in Nigeria as a lot of people troop there to marry. Also, what's the cost implication to marry at ikoyi. Thank. |

OP, please what are the rights and privileges under the law of a lady and child born out of wedlock? does she has any chance/right to a share of ones property? what if she is the first person to give one a child? 1 Like |

Galantsantana:Ignorance is more deadly than HIV. The problem of administration of the estate of a deceased who died intestate can simply be remedied if the deceased had made a Will or Codicils before his demise. A child born out of wedlock whose paternity is acknowledged by the biological father is deemed a part of the family of the man under law and cannot be subjected to any form of discrimination in the succession of the estate of the biological father pursuant to section 42(2) of the Constitution of FRN 1999. Constitutionally, he is entitled to the devolution of the estate of the deceased who died intestate even where the prevailing custom of the deceased says otherwise. Sincerely speaking, there are conflicting decisions of the Court on this issue but the scale of justice weighs more in favor of the deceased illegitimate child. However, where a deceased wishes to confine the succession of his estate to particular individuals, he may make a Will or Codicils to the benefits of such individuals and it shall be so once a probate has been obtained to that regard from the probate registry. The only exception to the above is where the deceased died testate and made no provision for the wife, children or immediate relation who who were in his care before his demise. This category of person may apply to court praying for reasonable financial provisions to dependants pursuant to section 2 of Wills Law Lagos State. 2 Likes |

There is no marriage called "court marriage" in Nigeria. What we have is "statutory marriage" or "marriage under the Act" . 4 Likes |

I'm sorry to make a little digression from the topic. My husband and I wedded at the registry for 6 years now and my marriage certificate is still as it was given to me. I tried laminating it but someone told me not to laminate it. Please is it wrong to laminate the certificate? |

Please under customary marriage, where the husband sent the wife home and the man later died after about 5 months, is it necessary for the wife people to ask the late husband people to come and take their dowry? |

Lokoyen: No dear. Even the registry in the smallest village is recognized outside the shores of Nigeria. My sister was almost deceived to do her wedding at Ikoyi if not for the early intervention of a solicitor. They finally wedded in my village registry last November, and applied for visa which was given to her in January. 5 Likes 1 Share |

@OP , In a situaton where a lady got married at the registry a month to his husband leaving the country for work abroad, but a year after things changed and the husband couldnt be conneted to. 2 years later the lady got married to another man and the man in question also got married outside the country 6 years after. Would there be any problem in the future for the 2 individuals? Because I heard 7 years is the required number of years a woman can wait for his husband after which she could get married again. |
