A house wife,
Aisha Umar, of Tudun Wada Quarters in Kaduna, has sued her husband, Umar
Muhammad, at the Magajin Gari Sharia Court II, accusing him of reinstating his
former wife.
She told the court on
Friday that since he divorced the ex-wife, Muhammad continued patronising her
for food and relaxation, in spite of Islamic injunction prohibiting him from
doing so after divorcing her three times.
The plaintiff alleged
that she converted to Islam because of him, but if she drew his attention to
the Islamic injunction about the matter, he usually disagreed.
She alleged that the
husband’s response prompted her court action.
The defendant denied
the allegation.
Muhammad told the
court that he had two children with the ex-wife, adding that he had the right
to see his children in her custody.
He admitted divorcing
hie ex-wife three times but said it was due to provocation.
He said his action was
informed by the advice he allegedly got from an Islamic cleric.
The Khadi,
Ibrahim Mohammad, said that shari’a law forebade a divorced wife returning to
her former husband.
“You have divorced her
three times and she can’t return unless she remarries some one else, and not on
any condition,” he said.
The Khadi directed the
plaintiff to report back, if the defendant returned his ex-wife after the
ruling of the court.
He warned the
defendant that his action could incur the wrath of the law. (NAN)
