Celebrating Marriage Through The Law

About the Book

“Celebrating Marriage Through the Law” is a follow-up to the author’s first book, “The Legacy”. It uses case studies to examine and highlight women's experiences in marriage with the aim of portraying that women can find solutions to their marital problems by using the law. It emphasizes that women hold the key that can make the difference in their own lives and in the lives of others. Women, especially African women are very reluctant to use the legal avenues available to them, either due to their ignorance of the law or their reluctance to disturb the status quo of “ women are to be seen and not heard”. Thus a lot of women end up simply living with their problem that usually has a very simple solution. The Law is able to change the attitudes and perspectives of society to make life more just and meaningful. We need the Law to remind us of what is right in the world and we need the Law more to ensure that women are given the support that they need to make changes in their lives.
