A Bauchi Upper Sharia Court on Tuesday declined to dissolve the marriage between a housewife Aishatu Adamu and her husband, Umar Audu following a decision of their guardians to that effect.
She alleged that she could no longer endure the maltreatment meted out to her by her husband who allegedly instructed her own children to curse and abuse her. The decision to decline the prayer of the wife, according to Malam Sambo, was based on the resolution of the two guardians of the couple who suggested that both husband and wife should forgive each other and remain as a couple.
According to the Counsel, the wife approached the court to dissolve the marriage having been irritated and humiliated by her husband’s maltreatment.
that is unfortunate.
