Thread Name: Nigerian Woman to be murdered - now acquitted
Subject: RE: Urgent, Nigerian Woman to be murdered
Hmmmmm. What I read in my local paper was that the court decided that adultery was not provable. The woman and her lawyer had argued that the child was sired by her late husband, who had died more than a year before. Islamic law (or at least the local version) contends that a child can be born up to 7 years afte conception.

That's what was reported in my paper.
