Abandon your Spouse, go to Jail for three years!

In Nigeria, it is not unusual for a man or woman to abandon the immediate family and move on. Indeed, it is becoming a normal occurrence for a spouse especially the man, to abandon his responsibilities in the home and abscond in order to move in with another lover or even to an entirely unknown place to avoid responsibilities. However, for those engaging in this act and those encouraging such, it is time to desist, else a jail term is imminent as the law now frowns on such act and has made it a criminal offence.
No longer will the law accept such as a family issue as the VAPP Act has made it a crime to abandon one’s spouse, children or other dependants under the domestic offences section.

A provision like this is why the Violence Against Persons and (Prohibition) Act (VAPP) 2015 is described as a child of necessity in the fight against violence dominating the domestic and public space in Nigeria.

Section 16 of the VAPP Act makes provisions for cases of abandonment of children, spouse and other dependants without means of sustenance. Section 16 (1) provides that any person who abandons his or her spouse, children and other dependents without means of sustenance is liable for punishment with maximum three years imprisonment or N500,000 fine or both.

Section 16 (2) says anyone who attempts to abandon his children, spouse and other dependants without means of sustenance is liable for punishment with maximum two years imprisonment or N200,000 fine or both. 16 (3) provides that any person who incites or counsels another to abandon his or her spouse, children and other dependents without means of sustenance is liable for punishment with maximum two years imprisonment or N200, 000 fine or both and 16 (4) states that any person who  receives  or  assists another  who, to his  or her  knowledge, committed this offence  is  considered an accessory after  the fact  and is  liable  on conviction  to a term  of imprisonment with maximum one year imprisonment or N100,000 fine or both.

It is indeed time for dead beat parents to sit up and live up to their responsibilities while neighborhood counselors that give inciting advice must now watch what they encourage else they face the wrath of the law.

Can you survive without a dicking session?


Even Linda who preached celibacy got pregnant out of the blue....

Summary please

So by your logic…


You admit a high case of abandonment but not of divorce?
Whatever the difference by you. Because abandonment is just an unofficial way of divorce.

Kobojunkie.

And this mentality is the reason why you keep engaging those same women. You folks have turned your lives into chronic drama — always complaining —by your refusal to live intentionally.

The so called "head of family" should come and open this thread and learn something meaningful.
Some men would run away from their responsibilities and leave the financial burden on the woman alone.

Sometimes I really hope FG could sign a law stating broke men should stay far away from marriage/relationships and he would be sentenced to 5 years in jail for breaking the law.
I pray FG should look into this.

You're bittered, you haven't had a nice moment with Mr. dick.

ROFLMAO


This logic was never just mine as you yourself admitted that divorce was high even though it was unofficial meaning you also perceived abandonment as divorce though you kept denying it.

Maybe we should state the terms clearly…

What is abandonment and what is divorce? What is/are the difference(s)?
Na your logic. Because you are the one who kept throwing it in your arguments. I don’t even know what it means. Explain.

According to the above act, Marriage abandonment is a crime against marriage, whereas divorce is not a crime.

Three year jail term is not good enough. It should have been a longer jail sentence. Jail them bastarrds...

Look, I grew up with many of my peers living in single-parent homes because one of the parents up and left them, abandoned them. I saw it happen over and over — enough times to cause me to realize that this was a cultural norm of sorts — so, if you are, in this day and age, asking me to define what is an obvious problem where marriage is concerned in Nigeria, then I can't help you at all.

So we can both agree abandonment is an informal way of divorce?

Well, duh!

It is a fraud as the law states and has been so since the time of your ancestors, only now the law recognizes it as such and intends to treat it as exactly that too.

Kobojunkie:
Well, duh!

Lol…


So why have you been throwing it in to suit your argument? When obviously they is no difference? Eh… madam? Because you like to argue? Bringing in technicalities to your arguments?


Duhhh!!!

Oh, now that you finally see it for what it is you suddenly pretend you always have?

Your ancestors committed fraud when they abandoned their wives in marriage, but, fortunately, the law has caught up to that and now criminalizes the act as it ought to have.

I pity any man that will get an inch close to you not to talk of getting married to you.
The last time I checked, women were given two hands and two legs and a brain just like men, abi women dey forbid to make money? You reek of entitlement mentality.

Same to you igbokwe.

Well a man should have it at the back of his mind that a women he have sex with are likely to get pregnant. . .

There is absolutely no need to act surprise and abandon the pregnancy or responsibilities for the baby.
If as a man and you felt the pregnancy might not be yours then opt in for a DNA test.

I see no reason why a man should abandon his responsibilities
