An Area Court at Center-Igboro, Ilorin in Kawar State has dissolved a five-year-old marriage between Sofiat Abdullahi and Muhammed Suleiman on the wife’s request.
The presiding judge, Abdulkadir Ahmed, said the respondent sent a letter to the court, accepting the divorce request of the applicant, stating that he is also no longer interested in the marriage.
Ahmed, therefore, dissolved the Islamic marriage between the couple and ordered Sofiat to observe a mandatory three months ‘Iddah’ (being the period she would wait before she could re-marry).
Earlier, the applicant told the court that she was tired of the marriage because love had fled the union.
She, however, pleaded to have custody and maintenance of the child she had for the respondent.
