A 12-year-old marriage between a housewife, Amina Hamisu and her husband, Ibrahim Isyaku, has been dissolved. <\/p>\n
The marriage was dissolved by an area court in Kubwa, Abuja, over the husband’s desertion<\/p>\n
The Judge, Malam Yahaya Sheshi, dissolved the marriage according to Islamic law following Amina\u2019s prayer for divorce on grounds of abandonment.<\/p>\n
Sheshi added that considering the evidence given by the two witnesses, Mustapha Abdulrasheed and Hadiza Garba, it was eminent that the defendant neglected and starved the petitioner and their three children.<\/p>\n
He ordered Amina to observe Iddah (waiting period) of three months according to Islamic injunction before contracting another marriage.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the petitioner told the court that the respondent did not provide food, shelter, clothing and medication for the family.<\/p>\n
While giving evidence, the petitioner\u2019s brother-in-law, Abdulrasheed, said that the respondent abandoned his wife and children without care in a village in Kano and that her family asked her to relocate and meet him in Abuja.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cDespite Amina relocating, her husband did not change. The family asked her to return to her sister\u2019s house so that he can change but he did not.\u201d<\/p>\n
Abdulrasheed added that the respondent also disrespected his wife\u2019s parents and begged the court to dissolve the marriage since he was no longer interested.<\/p>\n
Despite the respondent denying the allegations against him, the judge dissolved the marriage. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
