Abstract
This work would entail a detailed analysis of Fraud as a ground for divorce in Nigeria law. In many countries, spouses wishing to file for divorce can choose one of many grounds, or reasons, upon which to base their divorce. The fraudulent conduct of one spouse may provide grounds for divorce, though this is more commonly grounds for annulment -- which voids the marriage as if it never existed, rather than divorce. If a spouse files for divorce based on fault grounds, such as fraud, she must prove these grounds to the court with evidence, typically testimony or documentary proof, especially if the other spouse contests the wrongdoing. This is in contrast to no-fault grounds, which typically require little or no proof.
