Thursday, September 26, 2024 -An Area Court at Centre-Igboro in Ilorin on Wednesday, September 25, dissolved the Islamic marriage between one Toyin Ajibola and Bashirat Mohammed on grounds of lack of money.
The presiding
judge, Hammad Ajumonbi, while delivering the ruling said that even though Mr
Ajibola loved his wife, she still needed to move on and not be left stranded.
He therefore dissolved the marriage and
granted custody of the three children from the marriage to the wife.
The court also ordered the woman to observe
the three-month iddah (waiting) period before she could remarry.
Judge Ajumonbi ordered Mr Ajibola to be
responsible for the feeding of the children to the best of his ability.
He should have unrestricted access to the children and the
mother should always make the children available any time their father
requested,” the judge said
Earlier, Ms Mohammed had applied for
divorce saying she was tired of the marriage due to lack of money and her
husband’s irresponsibility.
“I want the court to grant me divorce so I
can have rest of mind,” she said
The husband, however, told the court
that he was still interested in his wife even though he was financially
handicapped.
“I have been trying hard to get money
to feed my family, but couldn’t.
“It is so painful that I can’t get
money to visit her and the children when they left home,” he said.
