Wife seeks divorce over husband’s health condition
Ibrahim, in her petition, told the court that her husband, Solihu, has been sick for more than ten years, and his family has refused to support her in taking care of him and the children.
A housewife, Rofiat Ibrahim, prayed on Tuesday for divorce from an Area Court in Ilorin over her husband’s health condition.
Ibrahim, in her petition, told the court that her husband, Solihu, has been sick for more than ten years, and his family has refused to support her in taking care of him and the children.
”I am the only one fending for my sick husband. My husband’s family left the financial burden on me.
”I left my sick husband in 2019 and took our four children with me when the burden became too much on me.
”My in-laws took my sick husband to a welfare home for treatment when I left him, but he ran away from the place and has not been heard of till now,” she said.
She therefore pleaded with the court to grant her divorce.
The presiding Judge, Malam Aminullahi AbdulLateef, ordered that Solihu be properly served for him to react to his wife’s application.
He adjourned the meeting until Aug. 9 for Solihu’s reaction to the petitioner.
