A widow, Marakisiyya Ibrahim on Tuesday, dragged her late husband’s sisters before a Shari’a Court sitting in Rigasa, Kaduna over their refusal to give her children their share of their father’s inheritance.
The 35-year-old complainant, who resides in Rigasa area of Kaduna, told the court that she has two children for her late husband and needed the inheritance to pay their school fees.
Ibrahim accused Rakiya, Maryam and A’i Abdullahi of refusing to hand her and her children their share of inheritance.
“My husband was a Muslim, but his siblings are not. I want this honorable court to assist me retrieve what is rightfully mine and my childrens’,”she said.
The defendants, who reside in Unguwan Boro area of Kaduna, however were not in court due to lack of proper service.
The Judge, Malam Dahiru Bamalli, adjourned the matter until March 17 for hearing.
