An Ilorin-based housewife, Kuburat Adebayo, has prayed for the dissolution of her six-year-old marriage to her husband, Abdullateef Suleiman, over childlessness.
The petitioner told an Area Court at Centre-Igboro, Ilorin, Kwara State that she no longer loved her husband and wanted the court to dissolve their marriage.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the respondent told the court that both families had tried to settle the misunderstanding between them and was surprised to receive the court summons.
“The issue is deep and it is not proper to narrate all that transpired between us in this open court,” he said.
Suleiman, therefore, agreed to divorce.
The presiding judge, AbdulKadir Ahmed, therefore dissolved the marriage contracted by both parties under Islamic law on the grounds of mutual agreement by both parties.
The court ordered that the petitioner should observe the three-month Iddah period, as prescribed by Islamic law, before re-marrying again.
