He Abuses Me Emotionally And Physically - Woman Tells Divorce Court

A housewife, Asmau Abdullahi, has pleaded with a Minna Sharia Court to dissolve her marriage over constant beating, raining insults, and abuses by her husband.

According to Asmau, her husband Ibrahim Abdullahi, was in the habit of assaulting her for no just cause.

“My husband insults me a lot and calls me names like `mad woman’, `foolish woman’ and things like that.
“He is always beating me and forcing me to fetch water from the well at odd hours of the night.

“He does not show me, love, at all, and that is why I want an end to this marriage,” she added.

Ibrahim, however, denied his wife’s allegations, claiming he has been a good husband and still loves his wife.
The judge, Malam Ahmed Bima, advised the couple to give peace a chance and settle their differences, as marriage required a lot of patience and understanding.

He adjourned the case until Sept. 11, to give room for both parties to settle their differences.
