Lawyer speaks about Apostle Chibuzor’s son
The statement of this lawyer comes just days after Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere confirmed that his son, Aboy, has gotten married, as he took to his media page to share photos and also announced several benefits, including a home, a vacation, and others.
While people continue to react to the wedding of Apostle Chibuzor's son, a lawyer said the wedding might be illegal and shared two reasons.
Lawyer Fortune said that he discovered some possible loopholes or issues that might lead to the end of the marriage.
"The marriage between Apostle Chibuzor's autistic son and that woman has legal K legs. That marriage can be void, and this is why."
"First, know that marriage is a contract, and under section 3 of the Matrimonial Causes Act, a marriage involving someone who is mentally incapable of understanding the nature of the contract is void. Factually, that guy is autistic, and obviously, he did not even know what was happening. He didn't even know he was being wedded."
His first point is that the Marriage Causes Act states that certain individuals, specifically people who are mentally incapable of understanding the nature of such a contract, cannot be said to have agreed to a marriage.

Lawyer reacts to wedding at OPM church
He gave another instance as his second reason why the marriage might be void.
He explained that, also, if the church, OPM, does not have a license to carry out marriages or wed individuals, then such an event, which took place in the church, isn’t a marriage.
"Worst case, if that church, I think OPM, is not licensed to hold weddings, that would render the marriage void from the beginning because church marriage is the same as statutory marriage. But for a church marriage to pass as statutory marriage, the church must be licensed to celebrate or hold weddings. So, if OPM is not licensed, that marriage is just a social gathering."
