Woman Appeals to Sharia Court for Restraining Order Against Ex-Husband’s Visits to Her Home

A mother of three, Amina Rabiu on Tuesday prayed a Shari’a court sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna state to order her former husband,Tahir Usman to stop visiting her in her house.

The complainant told the court that the defendant divorced her three months ago following a misunderstanding.

She noted that the divorce was the second divorce since their marriage, she therefore prayed the court to confirm the two divorce pronunciations.

“He usually comes to my house and makes moves to sleep with me after the divorce. I want this honourable court to intervene and warn him to stay away from me.

”I want the court to grant me custody of our children and compel him to take care of his responsibilities as a father,“she prayed.

On his part, the defendant who was represented by his counsel, Muhammad Garba, said”my client only issued one divorce pronunciation on the complainant and that was a long time ago”.

He added that the complainant had remarried after the divorce and later divorced her second husband before returning to his client.

The judge, Anas Khalifa asked the complainant if she had witnesses to testify on her behalf and she replied yes.

He adjourned the case until Oct. 29 for the complainant to present her witnesses.
