Woman dissolves marriage to marry daughter’s suitor in Kano State

A woman, Malama Khadija in kano state has dissolved her marriage only to marry her daughter’s suitor

She said she decided to marry her new husband after her daughter rejected him adding that after making her findings she discovered that it is not forbidden by Islam

“I didn’t do it with ignorance. I contacted clerics and they said it is not prohibited. When I contacted him, he agreed, but my parents and relatives refused to do the marriage rites. That’s was why I decided to go to Hisbah and we are happily married now.”she said

Speaking on the incident, Khadija’s uncle, Abdullahi Musa Rano, said they refused to allow her marry the man because she deliberately dissolved her first marriage in order to marry her daughter’s suitor and that their family is against the union.

“She mounted pressure on her husband to divorce her just to marry the man. We can’t do this shameful thing in our family which was why we refused to join them in marriage. We are not happy with what Hisbah did and we are reporting to bring out our daughter. We want the general commandant and the state government to look into the matter.” he said
