Zither: You got it slightly wrong bro. The word " formation" means to constitute, bring forth, create, arrange and procure. Which simply put, means the " creation or constitution of a marriage, the determination or annulment thereof. The only provsio to the Section is as it relates to customary and Islamic marriages. Local governments and place of worship are required to be licensed. Come to think of it. The Statutory forms you fill right from declaration of intent, publication, and the constitution thereof, are all Federal forms. The law regulating Statutory Marriages is a Federal Law. The Rules regulating the annulment or dissolution, is a Federal Rule. Proceedings can be conducted at any State High within the Federation. Statutory marriage is quite different from customary marriages regulated by LGA's. Also, by acquiescence, all LGA within the Federation, save, LCDA's , are considered licensed. So, technically, they can celebrate statutory marriages, but, in her capacity as an agent of the Federal Government. They can't neither make laws or rules on Statutory Marriages. Even that State Houses of Assembly lacks the powers to so do. It's the exclusive responsibility of the NASS and FG. Consider it from that POV. Happy Sunday. |

Duggedised12:. I agree with you.I have friends like you too especially when it appears some religious centers use it to fleece people of their resources. However some don't do that... This development is caused by the local governments.In the past the federal government delegated local governments to conduct marriage .Surprisingly local governments started producing Unified certificates different from that of the federal governments... Is this not an aberration? That is why the federal government revoked the right given to them as enshrined in the constitution . The local governments have appealed the judgement of the two lower courts in the Supreme court.Will the SC not sustain what is the constitution? It will...For now anybody who does not want to go to registries because of distance or registered places of worship can do traditional marriage. and later put it on record in the nearby local government..... |

Duggedised12:. I appreciate you for this question. A marriage can be put on record in the local government just as a birth or death certificate is put on record there.The constitution gives the local governments the right to do this ..It is just for a record purpose.This is NOT a statutory marriage.according to the marriage act. You will not be given a wedding certificate from the federal government. You will just be given a paper DOCUMENT like birth certificate indicating that both of you live together as husband and wife.... |

kayusely70: Two ways 1.Return of bride price and bridal lists with involvement of families. register dissolution of marriage in the local govt 2. Petition customary court-legal service may be required to write a potent divorce petition. if petitioner is dealing with difficult spouse, a lawyer is needed to represent him or her in court otherwise petition can represent himself or herself in court. |

ejimatic:Now why will i go through that stress to get a paper that i cannot present as proof of marriage should i want to travel out when i can get the real deal? Does that not amount to duplication and confusion? Also which jurisdiction does that paper from the local govt cover,lets say a couple moves from that local govt to another state entirely and wants a divorce ,will the local govt recognize the paper from another local govt from the other state? |

Duggedised12:. I respect you..These are the two questions I am expecting from you. This paper document cannot be presented at the embassy.It is not e wedding certificate..It is just a oaper notifying the government that you live as husband and wife.Additionally you cannot present it to file a divorce in the court. Remember you did traditional wedding.Such a wedding can be dissolved at a magistrate or customary court wit your document received at the local government. If you did statutory marriage it can only be dissolved at the High Court only and your wedding certificate must be shown to court to accept that a marriage exists between you and your wife..As for the jurisdiction of the Record Document you get from the local government it can be shown anywhere in the country but not as a wedding certificate. |

ejimatic: there is obviously a need to align the constitution with the marriage act. How can the constitution authorise the government (LGA) to register a marriage and it is not statutory? What is the logic behind that? 1 Like |

ejimatic:A paper from a local govt ,not a legal marriage document ,not a wedding certificate ,so why is it even there to begin with? Why confuse people , why does everything about Nigeria have to be disorganised and not straight forward? Why will you give a paper of notification that will take the same stress as getting a wedding certificate to people when you know it is worthless ? If you ask me i think this is rather unfair to couples who probably are not even aware of this and think what they have in their possession is a marriage certificate,which i am sure with the "Nigerian factor" many couples would have been made to believe they were taking home wedding certificates. |

CanadaOrBust:. lol....Do you want to walk away? The does not allow walking away and marrying someone else.The truth is we are just doing what we lime in Africa especially Nigeria.If you do a statutory marriage and go with another man or impregnate another woman it is 5years imprisonment if the innocent spouse goes to court.who will do that in Nigeria? As for traditional marriage which can make a person optional collect a Record Document in Local government you don't marry another wife until it is dissolved at tbe customary court. If you want to marry a person through a statutory marriage after you had married a Peron through a traditional marriage the marriage registry must see evidence of your dissolution of traditional marriage. |

ejimatic: This is a lot of wrong info. For one thing, u don’t have to go to any court at all to dissolve a customary marriage. It is considered dissolved as soon as the man’s bride price is returned to him |
