Viral Claim: New UK Rule Stops Divorces, Nigerians Forced to Reconcile

A video has gone viral with a man claiming a “new law” in the UK now bars foreign couples from divorcing there. He says spouses must return to their home countries to file for divorce. According to him, many Nigerian couples living in the UK have dropped their divorce cases and chosen reconciliation instead. He shared one anecdote of a friend whose wife withdrew her petition and decided to settle their differences. No official legislation or source was cited to back up these claims, sparking debate about whether the rule even exists.
