Seven-month pregnant woman divorces husband over lack of respect
A seven-month pregnant woman, Amina Usman, has been granted a divorce from her husband, Ibrahim Husseini, over “his lack of respect for her.”
In her petition, Ms Usman alleged that there was no peace in her home because Mr Husseni puts her down and embarrasses her.
“My husband vowed to disgrace and embarrass me. He does not show me love or affection. I am willing to pay him the N50,000 dowry he paid to marry me,” she said.
Ms Usman also begged the court to compel Mr Husseni to provide for her until she delivers.
Mr Husseni, who is a businessman, did not deny the allegation made by his wife.
He prayed the court would grant her request.
Delivering judgment on Tuesday, Justice Abubakar Tijjani of an Upper Area Court in Mararaba, Nasarawa State, granted Ms Usman’s prayer.
He ordered that a divorce certificate be issued to them.
