Abstract:

Nigeria operates a dual system of marriage laws that allows the same parties who married under customary law to proceed and marry under the Act if they so wish. Since both marriages are under the jurisdiction of different courts, this article seeks to address the misconception that to determine both marriages, only the statutory marriage should be dissolved.
