  • Title: Marriage and family systems in Nigeria.
    Author: Otite O.
    Journal: Int J Sociol Fam; 1991; 21(2):15-54. PubMed ID: 12284456.
    Abstract:
    "The study focuses on traditional marriage and family patterns in Nigeria and consequences of change for Nigeria. The study identifies directions of change, rate of change, and the causes of change in marriage and the family. An attempt is made to point out that recent changes in the [status] of Nigerian women may recast marriage and the family in new and different molds. It appears the Nigerian family is moving slowly towards the western nuclear family model."
