My husband leaves home whenever we have misunderstanding, woman tells court
A housewife, Hussaina Musa, on Tuesday, dragged her husband, Hussaini Umar, to a Shari’a court sitting at Rigasa, Kaduna State for abandoning her whenever they had a misunderstanding.
The complainant told the court that the defendant left her without food for more than a month, a situation that made her return to her parent’s house.
She prayed court to dissolve the marriage, saying she could no longer bear the maltreatment.
However, the defendant denied abandoning his wife, saying he went to work in another town.
He agreed that they had a misunderstanding during the fasting period, and he reported the matter to the complainant’s elder brother and were trying to solve the issue.
He prayed court to give him time to reconcile with the wife.
The Judge, Muhammad Adamu, adjourned the matter until May 8 for the couple to
settle out of court.
Mr Adamu asked the complainant to present witnesses if resettlement was not achieved.
