A Shari’a court sitting at Rigasa, Kaduna, on Thursday, dissolved a one-year-old marriage over husband’s inability to provide for his wife.

The Judge, Salisu Abubakar-Tureta, granted the prayer of Mariya Zhulyadaini for divorce from Jamilu Hassan.

Zhulyadaini, in her petition, prayed the court for divorce because her husband did not provide her with three square meals.

She told the court that, “My husband only gives me N120 daily to feed four people since we got married in 2020.”

On his part, Hassan, who told the court that he was a labourer, said, “I do not earn much as a labourer. When I make money, I give her N1,500 or N2,000 feeding money daily for her, my mum, my other wife and six children.” (NAN)
