A 39-year-old housewife, Hannatu Umar, has prayed a Shari’a court sitting at Rigasa, to caution her husband, Abdullahi Umar, against borrowing money and insulting her in the presence of their children all the time.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the complainant, a resident of Rigasa area, also prayed the court to caution her husband against being irresponsible, and order him to provide food, good shelter and clothing for her and their children.
“He always embarrasses me and the children by borrowing money and refusing to pay back. This results in people always coming to our house to insult and harass him in the presence of our children.
“I have been paying the rent for the past three years. I want him to change for the sake of our children.
But if he is not ready to change, then it means our marriage has to end,” she said.
On his part, the defendant said not all what she said was true, but he apologised, adding that he still loves his wife.
The judge, Malam Salisu Abubakar-Tureta, said a woman who wants her husband to change from his bad behaviour would not lie, as she was fighting to save her marriage.
He, therefore, urged the defendant to be of good character and be a responsible husband and father.
Abubakar-Tureta adjourned the case till November 10 for the complainant to report whether her husband’s attitude has changed for the better or not.
