My husband denies paternity of our son, please separate us

A nursing mother, Binta Aminu, has dragged her husband, Suleiman Muhammad, to Sharia Court I, Magajin Gari, Kaduna, Kaduna State, for allegedly denying the paternity of their 16-year-old son.

The complainant told the court that her husband does not show love and affection to her and their six children.

“He will buy things for the family and give to all his other children except my six children and whenever my son (name withheld) calls him dad, he shouts at him saying he is not his father.

“There was a day I pleaded with him to tell me the reason why he doesn’t care about me and my children and he told me that he just don’t like my son,” she stated before the court.

Binta prayed the court to dissolve their marriage since the defendant had shown clearly that he does not love her and her children.

In his defense, the husband denied the claims saying they were untrue.

He stated that he had three wives, but Binta was the only one giving him problems after over 16 years of marriage, adding that she has the penchant of always going out without his knowledge.

“She is always on the road, moving from one house to another and each time I come back from work, I don’t find her at home,” he told the court.

Muhammad also dismissed the claim that he had denied their son’s paternity and not showing love him, saying he was the one that named him after birth and enrolled him in school when he reached school age.

He told the court that he loved his wife and children and was not ready to divorce her.

The judge, Malam Muhammad Adamu-Shehu, asked the complainant if she had any witnesses and she answered in the affirmative.

The judge, therefore, adjourned the case for the complainant to present her witnesses.
