•I won’t accept anything less than N200,000 —Husband
A Shari’a court sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna State, has dissolved the union between Yusuf Faruq and Kafayat Hamza after the latter paid N200,000 to redeem herself from the marriage.
The judge, Malam Kabir Muhammad stated that a wife has the right to redeem herself from a marriage by returning the dowry she received from her husband.
He explained that the dowry refunded could be the exact amount she received or less. She added that it could even be more than the initial amount.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the complainant earlier prayed the court to dissolve her union with her husband through Khul’i (redemption), expressing her readiness to return the N6,000 dowry she received from him.
The defendant, however, stated that he would only accept N200,000, which the complainant agreed to pay.
