A Kwara state based legal practitioner, Muhammed Adams, also known as Foundational Nupe Lawyer has announced his upcoming quest to have the Matrimonial Causes Act amended to recognise polygamy.
Adams made the disclose via his X handle.
“I am currently working on a Bill to amend the Marriage Act, Matrimonial Causes Act and Marriage (Validation) Act.
“These laws are not only archaic but do not take into account the realities of marriages, divorces and custody of children in Nigeria.
“In the Bill I will also be making a strong case for polygamy as a form of marriage in Nigeria which should be recognized under these Acts. But I need a strong Member of the National Assembly to champion this advocacy. I am open to suggestions”
