A mother of two, Maryam Abu, 25, yesterday begged a Grade 1 Area Court in Gudu, Abuja, to dissolve her three-year-old marriage to her husband, Idris Abu, over alleged irresponsibility.
In a petition to the court, the woman prayed for immediate dissolution of the marriage over her husband’s alleged failure to take care of his family.
Maryam alleged that her husband no longer bothered about the day-to-day upkeep of his family, including the children’s welfare and their education.
She also accused her husband of constant battery, adding that he sometimes beat her to stupor.
Abu, however, denied the allegations, saying that his wife was indiscipline and often rude to him.
The judge, Malam Imam Isa, after hearing from both parties, adjourned the case till June 13, for judgement. (NAN)
