A Shari’a Court sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna state on Monday dissolved a 45-year-old union between Ilani Alhaji and Halima Ilani over alleged infidelity.
The Judge, Malam Anas Khalifa, confirmed the one pronouncement of divorce made by the defendant after the effort to settle out of court proved abortive.
The complainant, Halima Ilani, had prayed to the court to dissolve her union with Alhaji, saying he accused her of cheating in the presence of their children.
She said that the complainant had not been exercising his duty as a husband for 20 years, a situation she had to endure for the sake of their children.
“I am now old, and I don’t have the energy for this kind of thing; what pains me the most is him suspecting me of cheating.
“I am no longer interested in this marriage”, she said.
