A Shari’a Court in Magajin Gari, Kaduna State, on Monday, dissolved a 45-year-old marriage between Ilani Alhaji and Halima Ilani over alleged infidelity.
The judge, Malam Anas Khalifa, confirmed the one pronouncement of divorce made by the defendant after efforts to settle out of court proved abortive.
Earlier, the complainant prayed the court to dissolve her union with Alhaji, saying he accused her of cheating in the presence of their children.
She said the complainant had not been exercising his duty as a husband for 20 years, a situation she had to endure for the sake of their children.
