We are not under sharia law. Penal code only applies to the poor people in the Northern Nigeria.

What he forgot to add is that the Penal Code only applies to Northern Nigeria and it is very Shari'a centric.

The relevant statute for Southern Nigeria is the Criminal Code.

The Penal Code allows husbands to beat their wives as a form of correction in the same way that a father beats his children or a teacher disciplines a pupil.

Section 55(1)(d) of the Penal Code of Northern Nigeria provides that an assault by a man on a woman is not an offense if they are married, if native law or custom recognizes such “correction” as lawful and if there is no grievous hurt.

Section 55 of the Penal Code is actually titled:

Correction of Child, Pupil, Servant or Wife


Wait, Boss, can't the North find a way to change it?

It really makes them look barbaric and unlearned.

May I ask: is this penal code operational in Abuja courts. Does it have jurisdiction in Abuja.

A spouse can institute a civil matter in the South for adultery and claim damages

Yes, it applies to the Abuja High Court, but Federal High Courts use the same Criminal Code as the South.

So a lawyer can't quote the penal code in defense of his client in the Federal High Court?

Which one be celebrity police officer again?, nonsense. Well, in a nutshell, don't cheat on your wife or husband.
Re: Adultery Can Land You Two Years Of Imprisonment — Police Superintendent Warns by GreatAxeMan: 9:28pm On Jul 03, 2022
That is only applicable in marriages celebrated under the Matrimonial Causes Act. That means all marriages which are registered and for which marriage certificates are issued.

Realists:


The Criminal Code allows a married couples to commit adultery, in so far it's consenting among them. No wonder partenity fraud is highest down south with highest rates of baby factories, due to removal of womb as a result of over abortions, hence the need for baby buying & selling like other commodities.

YES WE KNOW AND HOW DOES THAT AFFECT YOU? abeg face your SHARIA or are you tired already ?

He can't. The Federal High Court is supposed to be neutral when it comes to customary and religious law and the Penal Code is inspired by Shari'a law, unlike the Criminal Code of the South which is secular.

This will still favour men. Most men cheat to keep the family going, the moment women starts suing their husbands for cheat, men will go for baby mamas and the rate of divorce will go higher.

Baby mamas were your children will be expose to lack of proper parenting

You guys don't even see the effect of baby mamas practiced by black Americans you wonder why the join gangs

Exactly. They're the worst. They don't stay with their wife. They can sleep with anything that has a hole inbetween their legs.
