A middle-aged woman, Zainab Ahmed, on Tuesday dragged her husband, Oare Abdulrazak, before a Sharia Court ll sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna, over an alleged assault.
The complainant, a resident of Hayin Dan-Bushiya, told the court that Mr Abdulrazak had assaulted her because she refused to exchange greeting with her co-wife when they met at the market.
“This is not the first time he has beaten me, in fact this is the third time. I tried to explain to him what happened but he turned a deaf ear,” she said.
Zainab also told the court that her husband does not show her love and care whenever he is in her room.
She prayed the court to dissolve the marriage as she was no longer interested in the union.
Abdulrazak, who is married to three wives, said he had only beaten her once and had since regretted his actions and apologised to her.
The judge, Musa Sa’ad-Goma, after listening to both parties ordered them to present their guardians in court at the next hearing so as to find a solution to the problem.
He thereafter adjourned the case to February 11.
