Despite having her marital union effectively severed, a Kaduna housewife Latinate Sanusi, has defiantly told a Sharia Court sitting in Magajin Gari area of the city, that she will not vacate her matrimonial home.
Her husband, Abdulrazak Yunusa had applied to the Court, seeking a confirmation of his earlier pronouncement of Islamic divorce against his wife.
He had sought the order of the Court in compelling his estranged wife to vacate his residence, having made three pronouncements of the end of the marriage.
However, while responding to the prayers made by her husband, Sanusi insisted that she cannot leave her matrimonial home because of her intention to personally bring up her six children who are all females.
She expressed fears of uncertainty in leaving the upbringing of her innocent children in the hands of some strange persons.
She emphasized the imperativeness of personally, overseeing the upbringing of the children despite the broken status of her marriage.
“My children are all girls, and I intend to stay so that I can take care of them myself. Afterall, he ( husband) doesn’t provide most of their needs.
“It is my intention to raise them (children) myself, rather than leaving them in the care of some other persons”, Hajia Sanusi explained.
Her husband Yunusa had earlier premised his decision to sack her wife of many years on her alleged non-submissiveness.
In his ruling on Monday June, 2, 2025, Presiding Judge, Malam Kabir Muhammad, while upholding Yunusa’s earlier pronouncement of divorce, urged the wife to file a fresh custody application before the court.
“What is before me is a suit on confirmation of divorce. The issue of children custody can be filed as a fresh case”, the Judge stated.
