Ehusani Simpa Abel, the Court held that “A custom which does not permit the economic, social and political growth of a people is contrary to the rule of Natural Justice, Equity and good conscience… every woman in Nigeria has the right to enter into marriage and a corresponding right to exit any marriage.”

Some warned married women against committing adultery, as alekwu does not respect court judgement.
