Non-state-registered Muslim marriages are often considered as a poor alternative to civil marriage, accepted by vulnerable or ill-informed Muslim women. Problematizing such marriages is based on the assumption that entering into a civil marriage (in addition to or as an alternative to the Muslim marriage) is beneficial forallMuslim women. Listening to the narratives of the women concerned reveals a wide range of opinions, including those that prefer to enter into religious-only marriages. Solutions to the problems presented by unregistered religious-only marriages have thus far been proposed in a manner that reflects a discourse that considers unregistered marriages as somehow conceptually problematic. However, in so far as English law is concerned, the legal position of Muslims who enter into non-state-registered marriages is no different from that of cohabitees, who live together without the 'protection' of a civil marriage. Therefore, it may be worth considering whether the issue at stake is reconsidering family law and laws concerning cohabitation, rather than a separate set of rules and regulations for Muslims.

Poverty and food insecurity have become a concern in various parts of the world including Nigeria which are regarded as impediments for achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). Overwhelming studies have explored the roles and contributions of public-private partnerships (PPP) in driving various aspects of the economy in general and gross domestic product (GDP) in particular. However, less focus of attention is given to public-private partnerships (PPP) in fostering the sustainable agricultural growth in Nigeria in order to addressing poverty and food insecurity in Nigeria. Content and critical analysis is used in this study as a methodological approach. Secondary data were used which were sourced through academic databases such as journals from google scholar. The result demonstrated that the current hike in the price of commodities in the country contribute to the proliferation of poverty among the households and the challenges of kidnapping and banditry immensely contribute to the challenge of food security in the country. The challenge of funds identified among the farmers contribute immensely to high level of poverty and prevalence of food insecurity in the country. It is therefore suggested that the government should encourage provision of funds through an effective collaboration of public-private partnerships (PPP) in driving sustainable agriculture growth in the country. In so doing, it would strengthen the income of households through farming and sustainable agricultural productivity for poverty alleviation and food security will be achieved.
