A housewife, Fatima Lawal, has prayed an Upper Area Court in Mararaba, Abuja to dissolve her marriage to husband, Saifullahi Ademu on grounds of domestic violence, neglect and lack of care.
Lawal, who resides in Angwa Baba Mai Doky, Mararaba prayed the court to dissolve her one-year, five months marriage to Ademu.
She said that Ademu married her under the Sharia Islamic law.
“My Lord, I have no peace in my marriage. My husband beats me constantly. He does not provide for me.
“I have seen it, he does not love me anymore,” she said
She further alleged that Ademu sold her personal items, including a cooking pots worth N70,000, a bedsheet worth N40,000 and a smartphone worth N20,000.
“Ademu paid N90,000 as bride price and I am willing to refund the amount to him. I also want the court to order him to pay for my items worth N230,000,” she said.
Ademu, however denied all the allegations of his wife.
The Judge, Malam Mohammed Shomo , gave the petitioner one week to produce her witnesses in court.
He adjourned the case until July 6 for hearing.(NAN)
