YOU CAN'T GET 50% OF HUSBAND'S PROPERTIES AFTER DIVORCE UNDER NIGERIAN LAWS- LAWYER TELLS WOMEN. (PHOTO).


 You canā€™t get 50% of husbandā€™s properties after divorce under Nigerian laws ā€“ Lawyer tells women


Activist lawyer, Madubuachi Idam, on Thursday said Nigerian laws frown at a woman getting 50 percent of her husbandā€™s properties during divorce.


Idam warned that women who push their husbands into court marriage with the intent of sharing his properties during divorce should know that such is alien to the Nigerian law.


In a chat with newsmen, the lawyer noted that the spouse would be made to provide evidence of contributing towards the acquisition of such a property.


According to Idam: ā€œThe law that awards 50% or any percentage of a manā€™s property to his wife during divorce is strange to the Nigerian soil.


ā€œWomen who push their man to have them married statutorily (court marriage) with an intention to share in their property during divorce should be informed that such law is alien to Nigeria.


ā€œStatutory marriage (court marriage), does not aid a Nigerian woman to reap where she did not or has not sown, if it were so, divorce would have been the most lucrative thing after oil business for some GenZā€™s who are not willing to be married but desperate to escape poverty.ā€


He, however, noted that in the event of death, the spouse is entitled to properties the deceased.


Idam added: ā€œExcept in the event of death where a surviving spouse is entitled to the properties of his or her deceased spouse acquired during the pendency of their ā€˜Statutory or Court Marriageā€™. Similar right is not available to the spouse during divorce.


ā€œTo be entitled to any portion of your spouseā€™s property during divorce, you must prove your contribution to the acquisition of such property in a concrete and substantial manner.


ā€œLaws are territorial, what is obtainable in the UK is not automatically applicable in Nigeria except its legislated as a law in Nigeria.


ā€œIf one of your reasons for pushing your spouse to have you married statutorily is to enable you enjoy a certain percent of his wealth when you or he seeks divorce, you may need to rethink.ā€
