Can parents force their child into marriage?

[Sideeq Rabiu @SideeqRabiu]

Separation is not the same as divorce under Nigerian law. If a couple is only separated—no matter how long the separation lasts—the marriage still subsists in law. A party cannot remarry until the marriage is legally dissolved by a court, esp. where d marriage is a statutory one.
