Woman sues husband for failing to take her to Saudi Arabia after four years of marriage
A 45-year-old woman, Karima Nuhu, on Tuesday sued her husband, Musa Falalu, at a Shari’a Court sitting in Rigasa, Kaduna, for allegedly failing to take her to Saudi Arabia.
The complainant who resides in Rigasa area of Kaduna told the court that she had been married to Falalu for four years during which he provided her with food for only two months.
She also told the court that her ex husband dupped her of all her savings after which he divorced her.
“He told me that he lost his job as a driver but had secured another one in Saudi Arabia, urging me to be patient while promising to take me along.
She stated; “So far, I have been feeding myself. I even borrowed money including my savings for him so that he would be able to pay for the trip, but after getting what he wanted, he divorced me,” she said.
When asked if she had any witness to present in court, she simply said she doesn’t. “I have none except God who will judge us on the last day.”
The defendant, however, denied the allegations saying they were untrue.
He told the court that he had divorced the complainant.
The Judge, Anass Khalifa, who confirmed the divorce between the couple, said the court would only listen to the complainant’s claims if she had witnesses. He subsequently closed the case.
