A 26 -year-old woman, Hajara Shuaibu on Monday prayed a Sharia court sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna, to allow her to return her N90,000 dowry to her husband, Aliyu Muhammad, so as to redeem herself from their marriage.
The complainant, who resides at Hayin Banki, told the court that she was no longer interested in the marriage and was ready to divorce her husband through redemption (Khul’i).
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Khul’i is a type of divorce permitted in Islam where a wife returns the dowry to her husband to end their marriage.
On his part, the defendant, who resides at Sabon Gari, Zaria, prayed the court to give them time to discuss the matter with their parents for settlement.
The Judge, Musa Sa’ad-Goma, after listening to both parties, asked the complainant if she agrees to discuss the matter and she answered in the affirmative.
The judge adjourned the case to January 24 for the two parties to present the result of their discussion.
