A court sitting in Abuja has dissolved a marriage of 25 years for battery. Judge Isah Imam on Tuesday in a Grade 1 Area Court, Gudu, Abuja
dissolved the marriage between Ibrahim Gurama and his wife Fatima
Ibrahim for battery after Fatima filed for divorce.
The judgement was given in a resumed hearing of the case. The Judge
having considered the letter of consent from Imam, dissolved the
marriage. The letter of consent submitted by Imam and written in the
presence of the court bailiff and respondent's relatives convinced the
judge to nullify the union.
Fatima who has 10 children for Imam, accused him of wife battery,
lack of care and love. She maintained that her husband a resident of
Bocos, Jos, in Plateau refused to send their children to school and did
not provide money for feeding.
She told the court that the husband had beaten and injured her on several occasions. She has no other option than to divorce.
The court granted her wish.
