Divorce-seeking woman accuses husband of owing her N40,000
A woman has dragged her husband before a Sharia Court in Magajin Gari area of Kaduna State, asking for a divorce.
Maryam Abubakar, on Monday, accused her husband, Shamsu Lawal, of neglect and not caring for her.
Maryam told the court that her husband abandoned her for six months, with no food, medical attention and shelter.
She also told the court that her husband owed her N40,000.
“He sent people to pack all my things out of the house we were living at Pambeguwa; I am now living with my mother in Kaduna,” she said.
She prayed the court to dissolve the marriage and compel her husband to pay her the money he owed her.
The defendant, however, denied the allegations, saying he had never left his wife for even a month.
He, however, confessed to holding a N40,000 she had asked him to save for her.
The Judge, Musa Sa’ad-Goma, ordered the defendant to refund the N40,000 to his wife.
He also ordered the couple to return to court with their parents on February 13.
