The Kano State Hisbah Board has concluded investigation on Malama Khadija Rano, the lady who was alleged to have dissolved her marriage to marry her daughter’s suitor.
The Public Relations Officer of the board, Alhaji Lawan Ibrahim, on Tuesday in Kano, said: “Chairman of the committee who doubles as Deputy Commander in charge of operations of the Board, Malam Hussain Ahmed, said the committee has found out that the marriage was legal and fulfills all the necessary criteria.
“Ahmed said Khadija was divorced by her husband and had observed the three months waiting period (Iddah) prescribed by Islam, later married a man whom her biological daughter had earlier rejected.
“The Deputy Commander dismissed allegations that she was dating her present husband while married and instigated her husband to divorce her to marry her daughter’s suitor.
“The marriage is legal according to Islam; that was the reason Hisbah Commander in Rano Local Government Area supported and took part in the wedding rites.
“The Commander General of the Board, Dr. Harun Ibn-Sina, has commended the committee for discharging its responsibilities.
“Ibn-Sina said the committee members were carefully selected due to their vast knowledge on Islamic teachings and societal orientation.
“He said the general public should desist from spreading fake news and avoiding misconceptions on issues regarding Islam.
“He urged them to seek knowledge, as Islam is a religion that has jurisdictions regarding marriage, family life and all other related issues of human endeavour.”
