A Shariah Court sitting in Kano has acceded to.the request of Asiya Ganduje, daughter of Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and dissolved her 16 year old marriage.
Asiya had approached the court seeking for the dissolution of marriage with her husband, Inuwa Uba on the ground that she was tired and fed up of the marital relationship which produced four children.
The Presiding Judge, Khadi Halliru Aliyu dissolved the marriage while delivering his judgment on the matter on Thursday.
The judge however ordered Ganduje’s daughter to return the N50,000 dowry to her etsranged husband, Uba as cost of damage.
The court also struck out the demand of Asiya’s estranged husband for document of properties which he claimed belongs to him.
Counsel to Ganduje’s daughter, Ibrahim Nassarawa, said the court gave the judgment based on what is supposed to be the basis of the marriage which is the dowry.
Reacting to the judgment, Uba’s counsel, Umar I. Umar said they will study the judgment and await the next line of action from his client on whether or not to approach the Court of Appeal on the matter.
He said they tried all possible best to reconcile the relationship especially that she bear four children for him but didn’t yield the desired result.
