The seven-year-old marriage between Isiyaka and Salamat Dauda ended today, October 7, when a Grade I Area Court in Kubwa, Abuja, dissolved the union.
The petitioner, Salamat Dauda, said her grouse was her husband’s refusal to pay school fees for his three children.
“Isiyaka abandoned his responsibility as a husband and a father, I pay the school fees for our children and cater to other necessities in our home. I do everything and I am tired of his behaviour, ” she said.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Salamat prayed the court to dissolve her marriage since her husband has failed in his fatherly duties.
The marriage was contracted under Islamic Law on April 28, 2013.
