The Sharia court in Kano has explained why the 16-year-old marriage between Asiya-Balaraba Ganduje, daughter to the governor of Kano, and Inuwa Uba was dissolved.
Delivering a ruling, Abdullahi Halliru, the judge of the upper Sharia court, said the marriage was dissolved through Khul’i (divorce by Islamic means), adding that “the conditions the respondent earlier raised before the court should be based on Islamic Sunnah on Khul’i.”
Halliru also ordered the plaintiff to return the ₦50,000 paid as dowry by the respondent. “Khul’i is strictly based on returning the dowry given to a woman, the condition should not affect her in any way, especially in giving out her wealth,” the judge added.
Ibrahim Aliyu-Nassarawa, the counsel to the petitioner, told the court that his client insists on returning the ₦50,000 bride price received from her husband in exchange for the divorce.

On his part, Umar I. Umar, the counsel to the respondent, said the issue is beyond the payment of the ₦50,000 dowry.
“The respondent has four kids with the plaintiff, but all efforts to reconcile them proved abortive” Umar said.
He gave two conditions regarding some of his belongings.
According to Umar, the plaintiff should return all his client credentials, house certificates, and cars and relinquish her rights in their joint rice company before he divorces her.
