ABSTRACT
This project critically examines the traditional practice of punishing female adultery within the Isoko community of Nigeria. Drawing on anthropological and sociological perspectives, it investigates the historical roots, cultural significance, and contemporary implications of this practice. Through an exploration of gender dynamics, power structures, and societal norms, the paper elucidates the complexities surrounding the enforcement of punishment for female adultery. Additionally, it considers the intersectionality of factors such as religion, law, and modernization in shaping attitudes towards adultery and punishment. By deconstructing prevailing beliefs and attitudes, this study aims to contribute to a nuanced understanding of traditional practices and their implications for gender equality and human rights within the Isoko community. Ultimately, it advocates for a reevaluation of punitive measures, advocating for more equitable and just approaches to addressing issues of infidelity and marital discord.
