A 38-year-old housewife, Adama Abdullahi, on Friday prayed a Shari’a Court sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna, to compel her husband, Yusuf Ambo, to take up his responsibilities.

The petitioner who resides at Shooting Range Area had on May 16, 2021, filed for divorce through Khul’I (Right of Redemption), thereby returning her dowry to her husband.

The respondent, however, sent a divorce letter after receiving a court summons.

Ambo said that he had returned his wife during Ramadan.

“I have two options for him, either he should take care of my feeding, clothing, and shelter as his responsibilities enshrined by the Shari’a for three months or forget about the marriage,” she said.
