Does customary law allow for divorce?

Dear Harold,

I love reading this column because it has a lot of practical advice on legal issues affecting families. I, however, wish you could address issues to do with customary marriages. For instance, my husband and I didn’t get married in church, but a traditional ceremony was performed where dowry was paid to my parents. What would be the legal grounds to dissolve our marriage? Would it be the same as a couple that tied the knot in church or a garden wedding?
