An Area Court sitting in Ilorin on Thursday dissolved an Islamic marriage between one Mariam AbdulAzeez and AbdulAzeez Alade.
The presiding Judge, AbdulQodir Ahmed, gave the order on the request of the wife’s insistence, saying that there is no more love in their marriage as her husband is fond of beating her.
Mariam had explained that the beating started since her husband got married to another woman.
Ahmed said that the husband consented to the dissolution of the marriage.
The court however told the woman to observe three months Iddah period as prescribed by the Shariah before marrying another man. (NAN)
