”Whenever I talk to him about his responsibilities, it would result to a quarrel and he beats me. I have scars on my body from the beating, “she said.
Abdulkarim accused the respondent of failing to take care of her in the last five years adding that he moved out of their rented apartment five months ago.
She prayed the court to dissolve the marriage on the grounds of lack of love and maintenance.
In his response, Danbaba said, he does not have any problem with his wife and does everything within his powers for her.
“I cannot force my wife to love me but I still love her, ” he said.
The judge, Malam Muhammad Adamu however, told the couple that there are a lot of challenges in marriage.
”No home is free of crisis. I urge you to sit and discuss these issues and work towards resolving them,” he held.
Adamu adjourned the case until Oct.17 for hearing.
