This is the third edition of an established and leading book on
family law in Nigeria. Since the last edition in 1990 significant
judicial and statutory enactments have taken place in the area of
study. The new edition incorporates these changes and explains
their implications. The chapters have been comprehensively
re-written to reflect the changes in the law and to update all
relevant information including the Same Sex Bill and the Nigerian
Law Reform Commissions draft Marriage Act. New chapters have been
included on domestic violence and widowhood respectively to reflect
the continuing developments in Nigerian family law. The new Child's
Right Act of 2003 and the similar state legislations have been
analysed in the three new chapters. The non-customary law rules in
the intestate succession have been extensively recast to reflect
the provisions of the Marriage act as contained in the Lawa of the
Federation of Nigeria 2004. This edition has devoted considerable
attention to the applicable customary laws on the family and
provides extensive treatment of Islamic Law Rules and their
interpretations and application by the superior court. Familu law
in Nigeria presents a fresh view not only on the applicable rules
on Nigerian family law but also suggest new directions and
underlines the socio-economic implications.
