ABSTRACT The concept of globalisation is commonly discussed as an issue in international law. However, little attention is paid to its influence in domestic family law. As a result of the growing trend of globalisation, legal and cultural norms of the host culture and the foreign culture are fused, thereby, leading to cultural homogenisation or cultural hybridisation, depending on the level of accommodation of the foreign norm by the host norm. One of the areas where hybridisation or homogenisation of cultural and legal norms manifests, especially in African countries including Nigeria, is in the marriage system, particularly in the conclusion of marriage contracts. In Nigeria, one of the impacts of cultural hybridisation is the evolvement of multi-tiered marriage, where a couple combines marriages under the statute law, customary law and religious law, especially Islamic law. This paper is an exploratory study of how globalisation impacts on how and why multi-tiered marriage is contracted in contemporary Nigeria. The paper also briefly discusses how the combination of marriages as a response to globalisation affects the operation of family law rules in Nigeria as well as the rights of the parties involved, especially the women.

Legal and administrative mechanisms are designed to ensure the legality of marriage under both the Shariah and Malaysian laws. The aim is also to preserve the interest of the family and the public. However, there are people who still look other alternatives to be married mainly through syndicate or simply to run away to country’s border. This study attempts to examine the existing legal and administrative systems and to find out their weaknesses in preventing syndicate and runaway marriage for Muslim people in Malaysia. In this research, laws and procedures from four selected states in Malaysia are chosen, i.e., Selangor, Federal Territories, Negeri Sembilan and Kelantan. Data of this research were obtained from library research and semi-structured interviews conducted on several respondents from the related institutions. Law and procedures from the four states were also studied and analysed. The finding of this research shows some significant weaknesses in both legal and administrative aspects that contribute to the country’s alarming syndicate and runaway marriage rate. This research also suggests some recommendations for improvement that could reduce the rate of both illegal marriages.
