Consequently, when the court reconvened, Umar told the court that he couldn’t reach his client, Uba, on phone and sought an adjournment to clarify the actual amount he paid as dowry, in addition to responding to the claim of his wife, Asiya.

After he heard the submissions of both parties, the presiding judge adjourned the case to January 19, 2023, for Barrister Umar to tell the court the actual amount his client paid as dowry to enable the court to proceed to the next step.
In a chat with journalists after the court proceeding, Nassarawa explained that every woman who is living under strange conditions has a right under Islamic law to approach the court and seek for her marriage to be dissolved with the condition of returning the dowry the husband paid to her during their wedding Fatiha.
