A housewife, Zinatu Rabiu, has approached an Upper Area Court in Mararaba, Nasarawa State, seeking the dissolution of her marriage to Samaila Suleiman over alleged infidelity accusations and physical assault.
Rabiu, who resides in Orange Market, Mararaba, Karu Local Government Area, told the court that her husband had repeatedly accused her of being unfaithful and subjected her to physical abuse.
She explained that their marriage was contracted under Islamic Sharia law and urged the court to grant her request for divorce.
“He blindly accuses me of infidelity and beats me. I want the court to grant my prayer for divorce,” she told the court.
In his response, Suleiman pleaded for an amicable settlement, asking the court to give him more time to put his house in order.
Presiding Judge, Mohammed Shomo, subsequently advised the couple to explore the possibility of resolving their differences amicably or return to court for the dissolution of the marriage.
The judge adjourned the matter until November 23 for a report on the settlement efforts.
