A housewife, Ramatu Ahmed, has filed a suit before the Court in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, asking for the dissolution of her 7-year old marriage to her husband, Yahaya Salihu, because  she was tired of the marriage.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the Upper Area Court in Kubwa, Abuja, consequently dissolved the marriage between them for lack of love.
The Judge, Mohammad Wakili, dissolved the marriage according to Islamic Laws, following Ahmed’s prayer for divorce on the said ground.
Wakili also ordered Ahmed to observe “Iddah”, which is an observation period of three months after the judgment before contracting another marriage.
Earlier, Ramatu, a mother of two, told the Court that she got married to Salihu in 2017 according to Islamic Personal Law.
She said that she had been having problems for almost six years in the marriage and grew tired of the situation and wanted the marriage to be dissolved for her to have peace and move on with her life.
The embittered woman told the Court that the marriage between them had not worked over the years despite efforts made by both families yet it did not work.
“In spite of family interventions, the situation has not changed, I can never love Salihu. I want the Court to grant my wish,” she said.
She added that when her father passed away, Salihu went to pay his condolences in her family home but refused to greet her mother.
In his response, Salihu said that he does not love the plaintiff anymore and consented to the divorce, adding that her late father was also like a father to him.
The Court dissolved the marriage and asked the parties to go their separate ways.
