A woman identified as Maryam Dahiru has approached the Sharia Court in Kaduna State seeking a divorce from her husband of 1 month.
The court headed her plea and granted her request therefore terminating her marriage to one Salihu Yakubu.
Dahiru had on October 12, through her counsel Murtala Gyallesu, filed a suit against Yakubu, begging the court to end their 1-month-old marriage through Khul’i.
She told the court that she was no longer interested in the marriage and was ready to pay all the prices to get them separated.
On his part, Yakubu, through his counsel, M. M. Dahiru, told the court that he was still in love with his wife and had no intention of divorcing her.
He, however, prayed the court to order his former wife to return the marriage suitcases filled with clothes he gave her as a gift.
Delivering his judgement at the court situated in Magajin Gari, Kaduna, on Monday, the judge, Malam Rilwanu Kyaudai, ordered Dahiru to return N100,000 dowry and the suitcases of clothes she received from her ex-husband.
He confirmed the divorce between the couple through Khul’i (divorce by mutual Agreement).
“She will only return the clothes she hasn’t used. The complainant has the permission of the court to move her belongings from her former husband’s house,” the judge ruled.
