Tradition VS Modernity in Marriage: Where Do we Draw The Line?|Episode 3|Your Family Lawyer Podcast
Marriage has always been a deeply rooted cultural affair, but how has the law reshaped tradition? Once a communal celebration where multiple wives were acceptable under Islamic and customary law, things took a dramatic turn with British colonization in Nigeria.
The British introduced the “One Man, One Wife” rule, infusing Southern Nigeria with Christian doctrines to enforce monogamy. Fast forward to today, and marrying a second wife after a marriage under the Act is not just frowned upon—it’s a criminal offense called bigamy.
🚨 Join us as we explore the clash of tradition and modernity in marriage. Are these laws progressive, or do they stifle cultural heritage? Where should the line be drawn? Let’s dive deep into the legal and societal impacts of this shift!
