Wives, time to start gathering evidence and reporting your husbands. Two years jail time for each woman they sleep with. Spread the good news.

While the man is serving his two year jail term, what will the wife be doing? Will she not start playing away match?

it is only if/when the woman admit that indeed the man made love to her thats when a case can be instituted, even at that, a man can still deny that he didn't do the do, what evidence can the woman tender in such scenario outside video recording? My wife could have sex with John Doe in his house, and she and John might deny that it never happened what are my chances? Abeg we should be enacting laws to send our common enemies the looters to jail. Not this RAT RACE WE DOING.

Exactly.

BEtter SAY NO TO ADULTERY when you get married.


Lol
And dem love you too.

It's a misplacement of priority,how can the archaic penal code be applicable to the west where statute supercedes...so fun loving adults can't socialize freely or is that the way it's been done in America too... please don't bring the talibanic code to the west because the west is too civilized for that... questions need to be asked as in was it rape or under duress or coercion if not then it's null and void ab initio

GreatAxeMan:
What he forgot to add is that the Penal Code only applies to Northern Nigeria and it is very Shari'a centric.

The relevant statute for Southern Nigeria is the Criminal Code.

The Penal Code allows husbands to beat their wives as a form of correction in the same way that a father beats his children or a teacher disciplines a pupil.

Section 55(1)(d) of the Penal Code of Northern Nigeria provides that an assault by a man on a woman is not an offense if they are married, if native law or custom recognizes such “correction” as lawful and if there is no grievous hurt.

Section 55 of the Penal Code is actually titled:

Correction of Child, Pupil, Servant or Wife

Oga you didn't tell us what the criminal code says about adultery, you instead started ranting about other matters not asked of you

This one go make sense

@ rickleye

So what were you saying the other day again?

I see multitudes going to prison. Both men and women!

There is no crime in all of Nigeria known as Adultery. Full stop. Now let me break it down because this is a field I practice:

1. The offence of adultery is applicable to the states in Nigeria that adopted the Penal code ( I will not discuss the basis of this law so as not to convulate issues).
Same as the punishment in law known as Haadi Lashing.

2. The states in Nigeria that adopted d criminal code, do not have such offence.

3. This means if I reside in nigeria, in a state that adopted the criminal code, I can never be prosecuted for a crime of adultery. Full stop.

4. I would refrain from addressing the US/European reference but I know my brother would enjoy a discussion Abt that so here goes: A criminal offence, is totally different from a civil cause of action. So we need to make a distinction. What offends the jurisprudence of a country as a whole, is codified as a crime and hence criminal. Sometimes this is the same as what may offend an individual. However, there are certain acts or inactions that may offend an individual alone but do not offend the state/country. Those are civil cause of action that may give rise to a civil claim on whatever basis.
This is the basis of adultery as a ground for divorce in states that adopt d criminal code , US/Europe etc:, when 2 people make promises of fidelity to each other & one reneges by breaking d promise thru adultery( or any number of other reasons as stipulated under the matrimonial causes Act), the aggrieved party may assert his/her individual rights under that promise, by seeking a divorce.
It is not regarded as an offence against the state.
Just trying to view these things from a lawyers perspective.
Law is different from morals.

*Copied

And some senior police officers dey knack other people's wives who are their junior in the office or Division. So wetin come happen to dem?

It can't work because most married men and women in Naija and adultery are 5 & 6 including those ones in uniform

The police is very stupid for weighing such energy into enforcing law on adultery while they can’t secure the lives of the citizens of this country, they should start by protecting lives before this very one can follow

most of this laws are important and should be integrated into the law to help keep the society in check.

You people should be careful what is This nonsense

waynejesus:
I don knack person wey i no go Marry today

Maybe to her also the feelings were mutual. Ever thought of that? You might have been nothing but a side piece to her

So pastors will conduct service from jail

It's a penal code under sharia. Applicable only in the North under Emirates where they practice it before amalgamation of 1914

Savourt:
@ rickleye

So what were you saying the other day again?

Per offence or concurrent . Anyhoo!
This is one of those laws that should be a fine. I mean the prisons are overflowing with people. What benefit does incarcerating 2 people who have consensual sex do ?
A good 60% of men have side chick. Live and let live o jare. There are worse things than Adultery to deal with.

Our women are in trouble

Men Ke? Dont forget its for both gender

Adeteyas:
What a useless police force

I tell you.

The court of law will interpret it for us when the time comes.

Let those who fix these law who has not bleeped up come out and raise their hands. Hypocrites

You forgot the part that Penal code also allows men to beat their wives? �����

Even the Police superintendent should be in jail because committing adultery in Nigeria is like 5&6.
