Court orders businessman to allow ex-wife to move out her belongings
A Shari’a court sitting in Magajin Gari, Kaduna State, on Monday ordered a businessman, Baballe Ibrahim, to allow his ex-wife, Hauwa’u, to move her belongings out of his house.
The judge, Kabir Muhammad, made the order after dissolving the one-year marriage between Mr Ibrahim and Ms Hauwa’u by way of khul’i (redemption).
This means that the wife must refund the bride price paid by Mr Ibrahim before the wedding to redeem herself from the marriage.
The judge ordered Ms Hauwa’u to return the N100,000 bride price to Mr Ibrahim and another N20,000 as “Kudin Gaisuwa” (money given to her parents during the introduction).
Mr Ibrahim had refused to grant Ms Hauwa’u a divorce.
He also locked her out and demanded that she pay him everything he had spent on her when he started courting her and during the one-year marriage.
“I took care of her and provided everything she needed during our marriage.
”I bought skin and hair care products, clothing and make-up for her,“ he said.
