The 15-year old marriage between Lateefat Tunde and her husband, Abdul, has crashed after she filed a suit before the Court asking for the dissolution of their marriage because she was no longer in love with the man.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that this followed a suit filed before the Area Court sitting in Ilorin, Kwara State, by the wife, Lateefat pleading with the Court to dissolve the marriage on the ground that she has no feelings for him again.
She explained that since she was no longer in love with him, it was better that the marriage be dissolved so that she will move on with her life.
The embittered wife, Lateefat, told the Court that she had three boys for her husband and urged the Court to grant her custody of their children so that she will be able to train them properly as their mother.
The Presiding Judge, AbdulQodir Ahmed, having listened to her consequently dissolved the union as requested by Lateefat, who said that there was no more love in their marriage.
The judge also gave consequential order and granted Lateefat custody of their children and ordered that the man, Abdul, should have access to their children at any reasonable time.
The Judge, Ahmed, said that the Court served Abdul a hearing notice since 7th September, 2022 and he never appeared in Court but sent a letter to the Court to grant the plaintiff’s request.
The Court, therefore, ordered that a notice of divorce be served on Abdul while Lateefat was ordered to observe three months Iddah (a period the woman would stay without associating with another man) as prescribed by Shariah law.
