16-year-old housewife seeks dissolution of marriage over alleged husband’s brutality

By -


A 16-year-old housewife, Fatimah Mohammed, on Tuesday asked a Karu Upper Area Court, Abuja to dissolve her 2-year-old marriage with Tasiu Kasim, over alleged brutality and failure by Kasim to provide food for the family. “We got married in 2015 and I have a child for my husband, but since we got married there was no peace in the marriage.

 “He is always fighting with me over petty and insignificant issues, he always beats me up whenever issues arise and this beatings are now unbearable for me. 

 “ Several times he was warned by elders in both families to stop beating me, but he refused.’’ Mohammed also accused her husband of leaving his responsibilities to her mother, who catered for them. “ My husband also abandoned his responsibility of taking care of me and my child; he doesn’t buy us clothes and other basic necessities. 

 She also accused her husband of being jealous and in the habit of accusing her of dating other men. “ My husband is very jealous and because I am beautiful, he is in the habit of accusing me of dating other men and `selling my beauty for money.’ “ Is my mother who has been catering for me and my child,’’ Mohammed said. 

 She urged the court to dissolve the union, adding that she had already moved out of her matrimonial home. 

 Responding, Kasim, who did not deny any of the allegations, prayed the court to give him little time to talk to his wife if she could possibly change her decision. “ I don’t have much to say to the court because I love my wife, and I know that she loves me too.

  We got married because we love each other. “ The court should give us a little time to enable me approach her and sort out these issues. I do not consent to her request for divorce,” Kasim said. The judge, Abdullahi Baba, adjourned the matter until Sept. 8 to enable both parties sort out issues

  A former Senior Special Assistant to the President (Office of the First Lady), Ike Neliaku, has said that refineries across the country are not working because some persons deliberately frustrated it for selfish gains. Ike in a chat DAILY POST on Saturday, described the state of the nation’s refineries as a shame, alleging that despite so much money that was stolen, the refineries are yet to work. He lamented that the NIPR was not consulted before the removal of subsidy was announced by President Bola Tinubu on May 29, 2023. He said, “Unfortunately, various leaderships across sectors over time, have not really given us the basis of trust which is enshrined in that concept of fairness, equity and justice. So that is one area. “Most Nigerians know that what we have been calling fuel subsidy was not entirely what we are told that it is. How the government has been unable to arrest the issue is something I don’t know because I’m not involved in the process, but that came out from the sub
