A housewife, Halimat Nasiru, has approached an Upper Area Court in Kubwa, Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), seeking the dissolution of her 24-year-old marriage on grounds that she no longer loves her husband, Musa.
Nasiru told the court that she married Musa, according to Islamic laws in April 2020.
The mother of five said that her husband no longer handles responsibilities.
“I no longer love him and do not want to be his wife. I pray the court to grant my prayer for divorce,” she said.
Musa begged the court to give him some time to address the problem with his wife.
“I still love my wife. We have five children and I do not want a divorce,” he said.
The judge, Mohammed Wakili, adjourned the case until September 23.
