Infidelity can never be a crime because, it is an agreement between 2(Two) adults.

Which two adults? Be exposing yourself...

Because those lawmakers who are to pass the bill are actively involved. Simple answer though difficult to accept but that's the reality on ground

Because marriage is a contract not a law....if u break the clauses of any contract, the other party will only have to activate the penalty via a lawsuit and dazol. Police will not arrest u for breaking a contract, the best they can do is encourage the other party to sue u to activate the consequences....in marriage na divorce be the consequence, if the other party wanna file....but if they feel the benefit they get still outweighs ur error and no better deal out there and thus decide not to sue....life goes on

The law governing Southern Nigeria (Criminal Code) provides that Adultery is NOT a crime.

However, the Penal Code predominantly used in Northern Nigeria makes Adultery a crime in their parts.

Quick question, please does it mean if I travel from Kano to Lagos to commit adultery, I will not be charged to court? Afterall I didn’t commit the adultery in the North?

Then everybody would be an ex convict because nobody is innocent, even your so called pastors and alfas, they’re the worst.

Without good food and sex, this world would be a terrible boring place, so nobody should be jailed for indulging in it. But you just have to use your sense and not abuse it, that’s all.

They didn’t create somebody’s body part exclusively for one person alone abeg.

The stay on your own and sleep with the whole world since you’re public property.

No one forced you to get into a relationship.

Including your parents

But if two adults agree to rob a store, it is a criminal offence right?

No marriage is signed in Court please. The court doesn't conduct marriages neither does it issue marriage certificate.

Does the marriage contract criminalize adultery? Don't think so.

While it tells you to forsake all others, it doesn't stipulate a punishment if you don't.

Acidosis:
Under the Nigeria's Marriage Act, infidelity will only be a ground for divorce if the spouse finds it intolerable. Where the spouse finds it intolerable, the worst the court can do is to terminate the marriage.

In the north penal code

Not Sharia law

Depends on the part of Nigeria you are referring to
North and south view infidelity differently
While in the south the high court will dis vow the marriage on the grounds of infidelity(proven) without pursuing the matter further
The north in the high court can pursue the infidelity further if the affected wants to because of this
Adultery is a criminal offence under the Penal Code of Northern Nigeria. Section 387 and 388 stipulate imprisonment for two years, and/or with a fine for adultery.

Southern Nigeria (SE, SS and SW) has a different penal Code from Northern Nigeria?

Is this like US system where each state are autonomous to have state laws or Nigeria has a Criminal Code and the North decided to have theirs?

Does the Nigerian constitution apply in the North?

When it comes to marital laws in Nigeria.tye constitution is clear on what is considered been married and what can be pursued and what the responsibilities are!
It is a very technical issue .so the courts assume what you are getting into before approaching it.
Proving infidelity in Nigerian court is not easy .so just give your reason for divorce and the courts will just say ok.
But when you start looking for how to jail or harm the other partner.the court will just delay the two of for 10 to 20 years.since you both are not serious.🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴

Hmm!
The problem is not straight forward when you are dealing with marital laws in Nigeria!
If one was duly married under the nigerias constitution recognized by the high court of nigeria.the person has no problem with what is required on the course of action.
But constitution also recognizes the customary marriages as legitimate marriage and adopts those penal codes.(howbeit with rules of application)
So there you have it

Calm down alaye. Lol.
Who is an infidel?
The oyinbo people who coined that word for you have left you behind and are now into same sex marriage.

This life isn’t as hard as you religious people take it, just have fun in moderation and don’t hurt others, that’s all. So stop following your fellow humans and use your brain.

I’m even speaking more for men cos it medically proven that less frequent sex is dangerous for you, and here you are insulting me.

Lastly, I’m Batified so I’m glad that lying anambra petty trader didn’t win too.

Same sex marriage; yes if u have sex with anyone other than ur partner, it's adultry. So, r u suggesting that if i shud marry, i should leave my partner n have sex with another lady but it should b in moderation?

Less frequent sex (agreed) is dangerous 2 health. However, the frequency of sex should b done with ur partner 2 avoid avoidable ailment. Men shouldn't hide under such excuse 2 b promiscuous.

Batist, u don fall my hand oh. But we can relate.

Of course not. Sharia Law governs the North ONLY. The Penal Code is for North while the Criminal Code governs the South.

I was just stating the difference earlier that Adultery is NOT a crime in Southern Nigeria.

You can go against a contract. That is a crime. Doing so is punishable by law.

Would you consider sleeping with another man asides from your husband if you are married or not? I'm asking going by your last paragraph.

Contracts are civil in nature, not criminal.
