Divorce Law In Nigeria – A Brief Overview

Divorce law in Nigeria is not governed by one single system. The applicable law depends mainly on the type of marriage contracted by the parties. Broadly, marriages in Nigeria may be statutory, customary, or Islamic. A statutory marriage is a marriage celebrated under the Marriage Act, usually at a marriage registry or licensed place of worship. Divorce of a statutory marriage is governed principally by the Matrimonial Causes Act and the Matrimonial Causes Rules.
