The Formal Requirements of the Celebration of Marriage: A Comparative Study of Canon Law, Nigeria Statutory Law and Nigeria Customary Law - Paperback

by Aloysius Enemali (Author)

The book is an extract from my doctorate degree thesis dealing with the formal requirements for the celebration of marriage: a comparative study of canon law, Nigerian statutory law, and customary law. It is universally recognized that consent of parties brings about marriage. But for consent to result in marriage, it must be validly exchanged/manifested. Formal requirements for marriage celebration deals with valid exchange of consent. The work thus concentrates on what makes a valid matrimonial consent under the Nigerian law.
