A woman, Fatima Usman, has sought divorce from her husband, Sulaiman Adamu, at Magajin Gari Shari’a Court in Kaduna State.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Fatima prayed the court to dissolve their marriage of three months through Khul’i (a type of divorce where a woman returns her dowry in exchange for her freedom).
“The dowry is N100,000, but I am willing to pay half of the dowry, which is N50,000,” she said.
The judge, Malam Yakubu Abdullahi, asked the defendant if he agreed to what the complainant said.
Abdullahi answered, “Yes, it’s okay by me.”
The judge further explained that in Islam, when a woman wants a divorce, she is allowed to return her dowry which could be higher or less than the actual dowry paid to her.
The judge ruled that their marriage had been dissolved and that she should pay back the dowry immediately.
In a related development, A woman, Aderonke, has dragged her husband, Olamiposi, before Grade A Customary Court sitting at Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State, accusing him of lack of love, neglect and battery.
Aderonke told the court that Olamiposi started displaying disaffection towards her from the first day of their marriage.
The plaintiff explained that the defendant displayed that his political ambition was of more importance to him than their relationship when he abandoned her on their wedding night to attend a political meeting.
Aderonke stated that she waited in vain for his return that night, a supposed special occasion in which they should have consummated their marriage. READ MORE
