A married woman, identified as Sidikat, on Friday, approached the Sharia Court of Arbitration in Ibadan to file a divorce suit against her husband, Abdulrasheed Yusuf who allegedly gives her N10 per meal as feeding allowance for a family of six.
According to Vanguard, Sidikat had appealed to the court to dissolve her 18-year-old marriage to Yusuf for alleged maltreatment, infidelity and starvation.

In her explanation to the court, she said: “He was giving me N10 as feeding allowance either as breakfast or lunch because he said he just lost his job.

“Even when he got another job, Yusuf did not change and in fact, the situation worsened as we continued to depend on concoction.

“Yusuf, most of the times fed on bread and egg with sardine while the children and I took gari or eba.

“My lord, right from the beginning of my stay with Yusuf as his wife, I started experiencing different kinds of bad treatment of which starvation was number one.

“Worst still, Yusuf started having sexual intercourse with my younger sister who came to assist me when I was sick and in fact impregnated her.

“My lord, I still managed to endure with him for 10 years and when I saw that things will not change, I moved out of his house.

“As if those are not enough, he could not pay for any of his children hospital bill, let alone mine.

“During our wedding, so as to make things easy for him, I barely requested him to give me my favourite Islamic music cassette as my bride price and I am ready to refund it.”

However, her husband insisted he will stick to his wife forever.

He said, “My lord, till the end of time, I am not parting ways with Sidikat.

“I am ready to welcome her back into my home any day anytime,”

The President of the court, Sheikh Hamad Tirmisiyu, in his judgment noted that it’s such a shameful act for any man to be so irresponsible to the extent of being unable to cater for his household.

He stated that according to Sharia law, the inability of a husband to provide adequately for his family is referred to as a wicked act.

“Obviously, there is no true love between Sidikat and Yusuf because the husband cannot respond to the fundamental issues raised by the wife.

“Accordingly, Sidikat shall refund the Islamic cassette which stood as bride price on wedding day to Yusuf.

“The children shall determine who to stay with between Sidikat and Yusuf.

“In addition, Yusuf shall pay a monthly feeding allowance of N10, 000 for the upkeep of the four children until they are ready to stay with him,” he said.

During our wedding, so as to make things easy for him, I barely requested him to give me my favourite Islamic music cassette as my bride price and I am ready to refund it.

Too many things are flooding my head!
1. When was he giving her the ten naira as feeding allowance and where? Not Naija oh.
2. Was she the one argumenting for the balance just to make up for meal?
3. Was the husband part of the ten naira meal?
4. How can a man gave cassette as a bride price, who collected the cassette?
5. How come the man did not object all the accusations, is he guilty as charged?
Finally! Where is the man from and what is his name?
Name Checkers over to u. I hands off.
