June – September 2019: Isabelle Akouhaba Anani
Isabelle Akouhaba Anani from Benin was awarded a research grant to visit the Institute of African
Studies at the University of Bayreuth from 29 June to 13 September 2019, hosted by Ulrike Wanitzek.
Born in Parakou, Anani received her legal education at the University of Abomey-Calavi in Benin
and her PhD degree in private law within a DAAD-sponsored sandwich programme between
the Universities of Abomey-Calavi and Bayreuth. Currently, she is a lecturer at the University of
Abomey-Calavi and teaches family law, the law of persons, property law, business law and labour
law.
During her academic stay in Bayreuth, Anani worked on an article dealing with “Consent to Marriage and Reverential Fear
in Benin” which pleads for the consecration of a minor’s reverential fear as a cause of nullity of marriage in Benin’s family law.
Moreover, she spoke on “Human Rights and Peoples’ Rights” within a workshop organised by the Institute of African Studies
and the Africa Multiple Cluster of Excellence.
