Court dissolves 45 year-old marriage over alleged infidelity

A Shari’a Court sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna State, has dissolved a 45-year-old marriage

between Ilani Alhaji and Halima Ilani over alleged infidelity.

The judge, Malam Anas Khalifa, confirmed the one pronouncement of divorce made by the defendant after efforts to settle out of court proved abortive.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), earlier, the complainant prayed the court to dissolve her union with Ilani, saying he accused her of cheating in the presence of their children.

She said that the complainant had not been exercising his duty as a husband for 20 years, a situation she had to endure for the sake of their children.

“I am now old and I don’t have energy for these kinds of things. What pains me the most is his suspecting me of cheating.

“I am no longer interested in our marriage,” she said.
