According to the Twitter handle of @NigeriaStories,
under the Nigeria Law, a woman can sue a man to court if he had agreed to marry her and later broke off the engagement. It is known as "Breach of promise to marry" in the constitution.

I can't imagine what would happen if this law were in full effect

Breach of promise abi?

what about after engaging her and she still sharing her pus.ssy to different men?

OR

After engaging her i discover that are attitudes and character are bad which she had been hiding through pretend.

For a guy to break his promise to a girl, she must hv go against the promise made to her.

Lol. Easy to solve.

Men, stop promising women marriage. If you have to, make sure there are no witnesses.

Now on to the converse, what of women who renege on their promise to marry men; and who take money from men under such pretences? Ranging from school fees to financial support for their relatives? Are they also liable to jail terms?

STORY FOR THE GODS!!! Na d same oyinbo wey do pencil, na dem do eraser. Those 2 conditions are the loophole any smart man will capitalize on to use this law to clean his butt like tissue paper, flush it and escape grin. Una neva wise reach. Thank God for the red pill tongue

The Supreme Court per Niki Tobi J.S.C. held thus:

“In view of the fact that the case of the respondent is breach of agreement on the part of the appellant to marry him, I will take here what constitutes breach of agreement to marry. Two elements are necessary to constitute a breach of agreement or promise of marriage. First, the party jilted must prove to the satisfaction of the court that there was in fact a promise of marriage under the Matrimonial Causes Act, 1990, or under Islamic Law or under Customary Law, on the part of the other sex. Second, the party reneging has really, and as a matter of fact, failed or refused to keep to the agreement of marriage… A mere convivial or romantic relationship without more is not enough for a court to found an agreement to marry… I could not place my hand on any evidence by the witnesses that the property in dispute was developed because the appellant and the respondent agreed to marry. If anything, appellant said in her evidence that there was no issue of marriage between them.”

If such law exists ladies would be the highest culprits.

All these ladies who were trained by their non educated boyfriends, but jilted him upon graduation, to girls who dump their broke fiance for a much richer guy, to girls who ditch their guy just to abscond with an abroad nigger.

Literally all female flirts would be in jail.

No, that's actually excusable.
