According to the News Agency o Nigeria (NAN), the presiding judge, AbdulQodir Ahmed, gave the order on the request of the wife’s insistence, saying that there was no more love in their marriage due to her husband’s constant beating.
Mariam explained that the beating started since her husband got married to another woman, saying that everything changed and she seems not to do things right anymore.
“My husband now abhors me and beats me after he took another wife. He sees nothing good in all that I do and humiliates me, ”she stated.
