INCIDENCE OF ‘WOMAN TO WOMAN’ MARRIAGE AT CUSTOMARY LAW AND THE ‘CHALLENGE’ OF SAME SEX MARRIAGE PROHIBITION IN NIGERIA: A CONTEXTUAL OVERVIEW

Abstract

This paper appears to immediately suggest a study between the ‘ancient’ and ‘modern’ tendencies of life. Yet embedded therein is an attempt to unravel the seeming challenges of a misconceived amalgam of the ‘ancient’, yet organic and the ‘modern’, beneath the scenario of a disjunctive reality. The paper grapples more with a seeming interplay of this ‘ancient’ and ‘modern’ informed by the imperatives of deep introspection and due comprehension of underlying primordial philosophical undertones anchored on ontology. This is in the light of the exigencies of emergent contemporary living and attendant revisionism. The paper calls on the apex court as the guardian of our jurisprudence to set proper perspectives to ‘right’ the ‘wrongs’. Welcome on board.
