A Shari’a court sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna state on Thursday, 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, to her husband.
He added that the returned dowry could be the exact amount she received, less or even more than she received.
Earlier, the complainant prayed the court to dissolve the 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.
