A businessman, Yahaya Mohammed, has told an Upper Area Court in Kubwa, FCT, that he will grant his wife, Hauwau Hamza a divorce if she pays him N160, 000.

Mohammed and Hamza were married according to Islamic law in 2020 and do not have children together.

Earlier, Hamza approached the court seeking dissolution of her marriage with Mohammed on grounds of lack of care and respect.

”If she wants a divorce, she has to get me another wife. I want my wife to pay me all I spent on her at our wedding.

”I paid N60,000 as dowry to marry my wife and spent N100,000 for her clothes, I insist she pays me back the total sum”, he said.

In response, the plaintiff said if it were Islamically appropriate for her to get a wife for her husband before he grants her a divorce, she would do so.

She added that Mohammed did not spend up to N160,000 on her, saying that her dowry was N60,000 only.

“I do not have N160,000 to give him, only if he can also pay me for the satisfaction I gave him during the marriage and the cooking I have done over the years,” the plaintiff said.

Mohammed, however, said if the plaintiff claimed that she had satisfied him, he had also catered to her feeding and welfare in the marriage.

The Judge, Mohammed Wakili ruled that it was not Islamically appropriate for the plaintiff to get the respondent another wife before he grants her a divorce.

Wakili adjourned the matter until Oct.17 for judgment

  1. I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Exceptional work!

  2. Superb blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

  3. Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for newbie blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.
