FXKing2012:

Women are constantly abused and children neglected by some useless men, something must be done about this. I'm thinking of lobbying for this in the house of assembly.

Why can a man marry many women but a woman cannot? Is there a law against women keeping more than one husband at a time in Nigeria? Polyandry is allowed in India; its advantage is that it makes men to sit up to their responsiblities in order not to be replaced.
yes only india but how many practice it. polyandry is too complicated and can never work. even the west havent made it an issue. the woman practicing polyandry will just become a baby making machine because every husband will demand a baby from her and the battle of who is the father begins..........

let it be introduce so that people can start taking family law in my school because the main reason why people dont take the course is because it is not lucrative in Nigeria
Re: Divorce Settlement And Child-Support Be Introduced In Nigeria? by dayokanu(m): 6:10pm On Jan 14, 2013
I support child support and not divorce settlement. Marriage is entered not for enrichment.

Both parties should get a job and work.

Some laws cant be enforced in Nigeria cos we dont have a database or even a national ID. What stops John Ade from leaving Lagos to Enugu and claim James Audu? Do you have his fingerprint or how would you know it was him convicted in Lagos

Bitterness Gini?.... Lmfaoooo grin

Madam.. the bitterness is written on your face and its running thru your bloodstream. Thats why you keep on downloading it to one thread or the other.

And "YES" As a society, we have to provide for the children - they're innocent in all this.The way that works best most of the time is the way we have now.

Nobody's saying it's perfect, but we haven't come up with anything better and your also-ran solution is not an improvement.

Okiki_Oluwa: It's a welcome idea.
For my area, there are lots of single married women with 5, 6 or even more children. Their husband have divorced/abandoned them & are not taking care of the children. If this law exist, it can help them.
But some chop-ur-money ladies ll take that up as a biz. Marry a richman & divorce after some months. Nija own go come worse pass anywhere in the world.

FXKing2012: I think the divorce settlement law should be introduced in Nigeria to protect women as well as the child support law to protect children. Any civilized society ought to have such laws in place to protect women and children.

What is your take on this?

I thought you are supposed to be a born again Christian and bible is completely against divorce.
Back to the topic, I for one will not get married if there is anything like divorce settlement. I will advocate for child support because if you bring a child into this world, it is your responsibility to give the child a good future but for divorce settle to a woman, I can never subscribe to that because there are lots of gold diggers out there looking for an opportunity to nail a man down and rip him off his hard earned money especially in Nigeria where poverty rate is very high.

This is a very improtant, sensitive and painful topic. Considering how our sisters find themselves married to neglectful men. What is it with you brothers?, Is it that hard to just be there for your spouse? is it too much to ask. I have noticed that most people just stay in marriages just because of the finance. Its just painful because we stay in a country where woman are not regarded. cry

Why would anyone be supporting another adult who is not disabled? Both parties were adult when going into the marriage and money wasnt a consideration for them to get married

Child Support I would agree with as the children are minors who cant fend for themselves

What fabric? You mean the fabric that allows men to have children all over the place without being able to take care of them? Or contributing one kobo to their welfare while their mothers do all sorts to raise them? In Nigeria a man can just disappear and abandon his family, and go somewhere else to raise a new one without any repercussion. If you can skin dive, you better be ready to pay till the child is settled. Nothing wrong with this at all. After all, no one pushed you or forced you. You took that decision to be an adult and have unprotected s*ex. So as an adult, do adult things and take care of your responsibility. Surely, that is not too much to ask.
I was the one that actually clicked the first like on this your comment.This same thing you explained is similar to what the blacks in America do.They love sex too much and nobody is complaining about that but they have to be cautioned on the management of the end product which is pregnancy.If this measure was not put in place i sometimes imagine how America would have been.But my major point here is that it cannot work in Nigeria.Simply because first of all you ask yourself if Mr A Impregnates a girl in Calabar and decides to run away to Enugu and perhaps do same to another girl there and immediately after that relocates to Lagos and continues his escapade how can he be tracked down considering the unavailability of Data Base in Nigeria.In as much as America is big you cannot run away.If you do that in Chicago and run to a busy city like New York they don't need to track you down with the FBI cause they gat everything properly worked out.All they need is tracking you with your SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER.Anywhere you find a job in the country and you receive your paycheck be rest assured that this money will be deducted wether you are in the North,South,East or West This also apply to the divorce issue also because after Divorce the man can abscond in order not to pay allimony thats in Nigeria.So its until Nigeria get this Database management stuff fixed that is when such can be brought to the table for Legislation.

dayokanu:

What if throughout your marriage she sacrificed by not working to take care of the kids, which saved a considerable amount of money. Alimony is not forever you know. I think it gives the woman some time to readjust and get settled into her new life and status. Besides most divorce settlements kind of put each couple in an equitable position at their divorce. So that each party is not taken advantage of or worse off. Like if you both owned properties and what not. It can be either the man or the woman who loses some wealth. So it is not like it is always a loss to the man. Though in a country like Nigeria, its mostly the men who are richer.

I agree with you. So many problems like crime, irresponsibility and other vices will be curbed by a database and a national number/identity assignment.

madam, can you pls show us the statistic of men in Nigeria having children all over the place?

You hardly see a child in Nigeria without no father even thou his father his been killed by BOKO.

I have been seeing ya comments on family section.. All i can say for now is , You learn Negatively.

My Friend speak of what you have studied not speaking from your own enclave of understanding.If you were asking the person that you responded to his or her comment to show you statistics of men having children all over the place?I dont know the part of the country you are from but with no apology go to the southern part of Nigeria all states there inclusive its a common practice.Have'nt you heard of the word BORN THROWAY?Some after impregnating a young girl they abscond to the city in order to evade taking responsibility or is it in copious cases whereby a man has over 10 children and he does not know how they survive.The woman goes out to do menial job and when she comes back the husband beats her up and still collect the money to drink local gin with his pals like him.It is not all about fathering a child but taking care of the child i believe that is the main essence of the law though it cant work in Nigeria considering the unavailability of Data base sysytem/
