The woman told the court that she and Sami have been married for five years and were blessed with a child but, she has never seen him pray as every good Muslim does, nor cater for her needs.
In her words, she says “My husband doesn’t offer his prayers nor does he provide food for me or medication whenever I fall sick.”
She added that when she moved to her parents’ house for eight months over a misunderstanding they had, her husband ignored her and even though she fell sick and was hospitalised during the period, her husband did not bother to show up or settle the medical bills.
Dahiru, therefore, urged the court to dissolve the marriage as she was no longer interested in the union.
Although the defendant dismissed the wife’s claims as untrue, the judge, Malam Musa Sa’ad ordered the couple to present their guardians and witnesses to the court on March 27, when hearing of the case will continue.
