A Lugbe Grade 1 Area Court in Abuja has dissolved the 13-year marriage between Gaminana Aminat and her husband, Musa Abdulrahab, citing allegations of disrespect and physical abuse.
Presiding judge Aliyu Kagarko granted Aminat’s request for divorce under Islamic law and directed her to observe the mandatory three-month “Iddah” period before remarrying.
Aminat told the court that her husband had been mistreating her and showing disregard for her and her parents. She alleged that Abdulrahab frequently resorted to violence over minor disagreements and insulted her family when they tried to intervene.
Despite efforts from relatives to mediate, Abdulrahab reportedly refused to change his behavior. Aminat stated that she could no longer endure the abuse, neglect, and lack of respect, prompting her decision to seek divorce.
The respondent, Abdulrahab, did not oppose the dissolution of the marriage.
