A mother of five Safiya Yusuf, on Friday approached an Upper Area Court in Kubwa, Abuja seeking the dissolution of her twenty-six-year-old marriage to her husband, Muhammed Kusa on grounds of lack of love and affection.
Yusuf, the mother of five, told the court that she got married to Adamu, according to Islamic laws in November 1998.
She said that she did not love her husband anymore and begged the court to dissolve the marriage.
The respondent however said he was still in love with his wife and needed time to settle any dispute.
“I still love my wife. Our families have met for mediation and they will meet again concerning the matter. I want the court to give me time,” he said.
The petitioner however said that their families had not met before concerning them, adding that she does not want them to meet over the issue.
The Judge, Mohammed Wakili advised the respondent to try his best to reconcile with his wife.
Wakili adjourned the matter until May 9 for hearing or report of settlement.(NAN)
