Wonders they say can never end!
This may be the story of a woman who did the unthinkable, dissolved her own marriage, and got married to the suitor of her biological daughter.
The woman identified as Malama Khadija from Rano Local Government Area (LGA) of Kano State had after her daughter, Aisha rejected her suitor, taken advantage of the situation and wedded him averring that it was not prohibited in Islam.
The woman’s relatives had earlier expressed worry over Malama Khadija’s whereabouts and had notified Freedom Radio that they were accusing the Hisbah Commandant of Rano LGA of marrying off their daughter without their consent.
But Malama while speaking to Freedom Radio, said she was healthy and hearty and that she was living happily with her new husband.
On what led to her marrying her daughter’s suitor, Malama said after seeing that her daughter rejected the man, she was of the opinion that both of them should not lose him. She, therefore, took the bold step to contact his family, where she told them she was as beautiful as her daughter.
In her words: “I didn’t do it with ignorance. I contacted clerics and they said it is not prohibited. When I contacted him, he agreed, but my parents and relatives refused to do the marriage rites. That was why I decided to go to Hisbah and we are happily married now.”
But some of Malama’s family members are in opposition to her move and one of them is her uncle, Abdullahi Musa Rano who said the family is not in agreement with her decision to marry her daughter’s suitor who they say was not qualified to be her husband.
He explained that “She mounted pressure on her husband to divorce her just to marry the man. We can’t do this shameful thing in our family which was why we refused to join them in marriage. We are not happy with what Hisbah did and we are reporting to bring out our daughter. We want the general commandant and the state government to look into the matter.”
The Hisbah Commandant, Ustaz Nura Rano, when contacted m the matter, said only the state command of the board had the right to speak on the issue.
The Kano State Hisbah General Commandant, Sheikh Harun In-Sina when contacted, promised to investigate the matter.
