For disobeying in-laws, Sharia Court dissolves marriage
A Sharia Court sitting in Magajin Gari, Kaduna State, on Thursday dissolved a businessman, Abdulrauf Musa’s marriage, over insulting his wife, Jamila Yusuf and disobeying her parents.
The judge, Murtala Nasir, ordered the defendant, Mr. Musa, to desist from going to Ms. Yusuf’s house where they lived during the marriage.
He also ordered the complainant, Ms. Yusuf, to use the N10,000 Mr. Musa paid for her bride price to feed their children until the end of March.
The judge advised each of the parties to follow legal process in securing custody of their children if the need arose for any of them.
Earlier, the complainant, Ms. Yusuf, who lived within Kaduna metropolis with her husband, dragged him to the court seeking the dissolution of their marriage over alleged insult and disobedience to her parents.
Ms. Yusuf prayed the court to order Musa to pay her N5,000 each for the upkeep of their eight children.
The case had earlier been mentioned before the court and was adjourned for the parties to settle their differences, but to no avail.
