A 26 -year-old woman, on Monday, prayed a Sharia court sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna State to allow her to return her N90,000 dowry to her husband so as to redeem herself from their marriage.
Hajara Shuaibu, who resides at Hayin Banki, told the court that she was no longer interested in the marriage to Aliyu Muhammad and was ready to divorce him through redemption (Khul’i).
Khul’i is a type of divorce permitted in Islam where a wife returns the dowry to her husband to end their marriage.
On his part, the defendant, who resides at Sabon Gari, Zaria, prayed the court to give them time to discuss the matter with their parents for settlement.
The Judge, Musa Sa’ad-Goma, after listening to both parties, asked the complainant if she agrees to discuss the matter and she answered in the affirmative.
The judge adjourned the case to January 24 for the two parties to present the result of their discussion.
