God bless you for not being bias like ur kind.Did you go to school at all? I was talking about men suing women if they refused to visit them and why we can't sue men for not marrying women whom they promised marriage.
and u actually claim to go to school... If a woman receives money from a man by pretending to visit him then she can be sued because there is a verifiable evidence to that effect but how can u sue someone that verbally said he wants to marry u and didn't, probably even didn't sleep with u at all

To them, it has to be sexxx being the only thing they can offer to a Man angry. Like say she didn't moan to the skies during the session angry.

In as much as I dislike failing to fulfill my promises angry. But the fact is that no woman can tie me to herself even tho I once promised you marriage, perhaps,it was under the influence of "konji" angry. Once I notice you have got bad character and ain't willing to change,I go flash leave you angry. If you like,make you be justice omotosho daughter or relative, thunder must still fire you join angry
. Abi oo .

.konji is synonymous to duress in this situation..

List 3 logical things men really offer in a relationship. They only thing men have to offer is money. Util men offer more we wont offer anything other than the sxxx.

You can't expect more when you give less. I laugh at "men offer food". Women are the only one who offer food. You thought the statement "women belong to the kitchen" came from where? We offer food. men only offer money and maybe shelter.
. Doesn't that money cover alot ..

From shelter
Clothing and whatnots ..

The same sex wey una dey offer , guys dey put prik down too , so basically we offer the sex back too ..

Oga , find something else to talk abeg..

So a lady promises a guy she was going to visit him. She later didn't go and was sued and made to pay damages.

On the other hand, a guy promises a lady marriage and did not marry her and she cannot sue him. Like seriously?

For those who would say that the former scenario collected money and refused to go visit him, also note that the latter collected sxxx and refused to marry her. The guy should be sued not because he promised and failed but because he slept with her, probably damaged her body.
Do you even know that women body always not the same again after being sexxed? If the body remain the same, why do u guys always reject a lady with many body count?
So you see it works both ways.
If he can use transfer receipt as evidence against me in court, why can't I use whatsapp chats about the sxxx we had as evidence too? I always tell you guys when u want to come for me, be logical. if he uses transfer receipt i will use whatsapp chats.
Collected sex. Something that both enjoys or which one. Its like head dey pain this one sha.

If there is a chat where he said and stated cstegorically.. i will marry you . You might have a point.. but romantic chats or i love you chats wont win you any case of broken marriage promise.

Also even if a promise was made to marry you.. there is also a defense of cheating /reduced love from you/ poor attitude /lies and deceit... like finding out you had a child, that you are infertile, , not emotionally stable, flirting with other men and even in another relation ship ... to back out of the promise.. so promise to marry hardly ever wins... you have to be near perfect to pull it out.

Doris can never win this case.. chris lawyers can say chris later found out she was still married to her ex husband, was sleeping around, and didnt see her as a faithful woman because she was commiting adultery when she was still married.. A good lawyer can even turn the case against her that doris wasted his clients time and decieved his client

That is why you don't rush into promising someone of marriage. Law does not have excuse. When you default then you should pay the price.

All these senseless long write up because of a senseless cheat of a lady that left her husband house to be running after a pastor, so you expect the pastor to marry such a senseless cheat, men are not stupid, she got what she deserves, such a lady can even be jumping from one man to another does not deserve marriage at all.

No one said you cant sue.. anybody can sue for anything . But can you prove promise.. i love you isnt promise.

Its very different from a woman who defrauds a man with the promise of coming to visit and doesnt show up. Once you collect and recieve that money , you are already in a transaction and you must deliver or refund.or face law. Collecting money and not showing up is fraud. Money makes it binding

If she sue him and he turns around to keep his promise of marrying her:

a). If she refuses, who is in breach of contract?

b). If she agrees, will she sleep with her two eyes closed in the marriage because the marriage is already heading to the rocks?

It is always better to move on.

Meanwhile, I hope the parties have written contracts to prove that marriage was promised ab initio.

Huh? The promise to marry must be in writing? Wrong.

You need evidence, but no written agreement to marry is necessary. Whoever heard of such a document anyway?

If he denies making the promise to marry you, you can rely on WhatsApp messages, Facebook posts, witnesses, etc., that point to the existence of the promise.
Dating, taking pictures, having sex, wearing ssme cloths isnt promise to marriage.. you have to provide a written evidence or video or voice record of where he said "I WILL MARRY YOU" Anything other than that , you assumed.. and assumption doesnt win you cases . Evidence does.

I can easily claimed it was fake as the verbal evidence has been tampered with using A.I or some voice dubbing instruments to make it sound like me..

What is wrong with some of you? Lol

Nobody's saying pictures and sex prove anything (as if you're meant to keep evidence of sex). We're talking about anything that can be used from your communication - be it text or picture or whatnot - so deduce that a promise to marry was made. Or witnesses.

But you can make your own law and write it there that when people are getting engaged, they must call a lawyer to write an agreement for them or video the man saying "I will marry you" for any action to succeed.

Unless you are able to prove that they purposely deceived you with that promise.

2. That you survived a tangible loss as result of the deciet.

For example, a person who is already married or has a fiance promised another person marriage and the other person bought a house or cars for them thinking they have a future together.

If you cannot prove they purposely deceived you or some sort of fraud. You have no case.

Anyone can genuinely promised you marriage and later changed their mind for whatever reasons.

You can only sue and win if an element of fraud is proven.

A lady that collected money for visit and didn't visit, didn't refund the money and block the man is sounding like a fraud.

Same way a married or engaged man that promises another woman marriage just to swindle her money, cars or property can be sued for fraud/ damages.

Mention one successful man, you know that was lifted by a woman, even on an average level? Am sure You won't be able to Mention anyone. But can we say thesame for the hundreds of women who's life has being changed by many men, women who have been shifted from poverty to comfort.

Majority of you women have ungrateful attitude , that's why women like you think men have nothing to offer other than money, yet when you people don't get that money from a man you hastily switch to the next man by selling your body to him so you can have access to his pocket.

2026 is coming soon, make sure you drop that bad attitude as you dive into it.

and what evidence can the woman produce in court that proves she was promised marriage ? A voice recording or a written agreement perhaps.or can such case be judged solely on her testimony without evidence.

Lol.. engagement is a proof or promise to marry.. but if you have been watching videos if she was engaged at an time she would have said it already.
The problem with you is that you cant deduce info...

Doris ia going to go to jail if not careful. She is paying for all her artrocities.. she cant even win any case in court again.. some one that gave false evidence on a missing child at papa Jeremiah church and was paid 45million. She confessed given false evidence for 45m without even know that its self is a crime. She is an idiot. If it was in another country she be in jail already .

A simple promise to marry, which is later broken, is not a legally enforceable contract in Nigeria and does not give rise to a successful lawsuit for damages.

The Nigerian Court of Appeal decisively settled this position[b] in the case of Okoro v. Nwachukwu[/b] (2007) 9 NWLR (Pt. 1038) 1. In this landmark judgment, the court abolished the antiquated action for "breach of promise to marry." The court held that such promises are social and domestic arrangements lacking the necessary legal intent to create a binding contract. Marriage is founded on free consent, and the court will not compel a person to marry another against their will or punish them for changing their mind.

However, the only potential legal recourse exists if money or property was transferred in specific contemplation of the marriage (e.g., bride price, dowry, or non-refundable wedding expenses). In such instances, the claimant may sue for the recovery of the monetary value of those items under the principle of restitution or unjust enrichment, not for the breach of the promise itself. This was also acknowledged in the Okoro v. Nwachukwu case.
