An Abuja Area Court in Lugbe on Monday dissolved a seven-year\u2013old marriage between Khadijat Adams and Adams Yusuf on grounds of \u00a0beating and lack of feeding.<\/p>\n
Adams, who resides in Kuchigoro village Airport Road, Abuja, approached the court seeking dissolution of her marriage to Yusuf because he beats her and does not provide for the family.<\/p>\n
Adams told the court that Yusuf also threatened to kill her.<\/p>\n
Delivering judgment, Justice Saleh Hala, granted Adams\u2019s prayer.<\/p>\n
Hala said all efforts to reconcile the couple failed and therefore, ordered them to go their separate ways.<\/p>\n
The judge said violation of any of the order made by the court would amount to contempt and shall be treated with the appropriate sanctions.<\/p>\n
He dissolved the marriage and awarded a certificate of divorce to Adams.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the\u00a0petitioner said that they were blessed with three children and members of both families and other well wishes had intervened in their matter yet her husband refused to change<\/p>\n
\u201cI am tired of being maltreated; I want my peace and freedom,\u2019\u2019 she told the court.<\/p>\n
Yusuf denied all the allegations but did not object to the prayer of his wife.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe is free to go in peace.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy Lord,\u00a0she can go as she pleases,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Yusuf agreed to the ruling of the court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
