The woman seeks divorce on the N50 power supply allowance in Kaduna

A woman with hearing problems, Hauwa’u Bello, asked a Shari’a court in Magajin Gari, in the state of Kaduna, to dissolve her marriage by alleged negligence and hunger by her husband, Usman Shuaibu.

Appearing before the Court of Wednesday, Bello – who spoke through an interpreter of language, Aisha Sulaiman – tolerated the court that her husband gives her only N50 for food and has not satisfied her needs since they got married in 2016.

He said his parents initially provided food for the couple, but the problem started when the support stopped.

“It is a tailor, yet he refuses to take responsibility for the house. When I had our son, he could not even pay the hospital bills.

“His mother had to intervene,” said Bello.

He added that the efforts of both families to resolve the question failed, pushing his decision to seek divorce.

Shuaibu, however, denied the accusations made by his wife.

By chairing the matter, Judge Malam Kabir Muhammad, he ordered both sides to return to court on August 25 with their parents or guardians for further hearings.
