Businessman Sues Mother In Law For Not Allowing His Wife Come Home

  

One Isma’il Ibrahim has dragged his mother-in-law, Zainab Muhammad, to a Shari’a Court at Rigasa Kaduna, accusing her of not allowing his wife to return to their matrimonial home.

 

The complainant who is a businessman resident at Police Station road, Rigasa, told the court that his mother in law stopped his wife from returning home due to his financial situation.

 

“I love my wife and I want her home, I pray court to assist me get my wife back,’’ he said

 But when the case came up for hearing, the defendant told the court that she prevented her daughter from going to her matrimonial home due to lack of care by the complainant.

 

According to the mother in law, her daughter had a caesarean section and lost her baby, but her son in law failed to pay the hospital bill and abandoned the wife at her parent’s house for three months without care.

 

“He came after three months, requesting for his wife to return to him and I told him she has to stay with me for six months to enable her fully recover.

My daughter fell sick after the operation and I was the one that paid for all her medication and feeding throughout the period,’’ she said

 

She told the court that she was ready to hand over her daughter to the husband if he paid all she had spent on medication and feeding for nine months.

 

The judge, Malam Abubakar Salisu-Tureta, adjourned the case until Sept. 4, for the defendant to present the total sum of the money she spent on her daughter so as to ensure the aggrieved husband refunds the money.
