Man drags in-law to court over wife’s refusal to return home

A business man, Isma’il Ibrahim, on Tuesday dragged one Zainab Muhammad, his mother in-law, to a Shari’a Court at Rigasa Kaduna, for allegedly refusing to allow his wife return to her matrimonial home.

The complainant, Resident at Police Station road, Rigasa, told the court that the defendant had stopped his wife from returning home due to his financial situation.

“I love my wife and I want her home, I pray court to assist me get my wife back,’’ he said.

In her defence, the defendant said she stopped her daughter from going to her matrimonial home due to lack of care by the complainant.

She said her daughter had a caesarean section and lost her baby.

She added that the complainant failed to pay the hospital bill and abandoned the wife at her parent’s house for three months without care.

“He came after three months, requesting for his wife to return to him and I told him she has to stay with me for six months to enable her fully recover.

“My daughter fell sick after the operation and I was the one that paid for all her medication and feeding throughout the period,’’ she said.

She told the court that she was ready to hand over her daughter to the husband if he paid all she had spent on medication and feeding for nine months.

The judge, Malam Abubakar Salisu-Tureta, adjourned the case until Sept. 4, for the defendant to present the total sum of the money she spent on her daughter.

It will be better if this woman doesn’t allow her daughter go back to such a heartless and insensitive man.

The man doesn’t love his wife. He doesn’t care if she lives or dies. He doesn’t give a hoot about her health.

He just wants her back so that she can continue cooking, cleaning and washing his clothes.
