Delivering the ruling, the presiding Judge, Malam Abdullahi Halliru, ordered the plaintiff to return N50,000 paid as pride price by the respondent, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.The court held that “the conditions the respondent earlier raised before the court should be based on Islamic Sunnah on Khul’i.“Khul’i is strictly based on returning the dowry given to a woman, the condition should not affect her in any way, especially in giving out her wealth," the court ruled.
Counsel to the respondent, Mr Umar I. Umar, said the issue was beyond the payment of the N50,000 bride price.“The respondent has four kids with the plaintiff, but all efforts to reconcile them proved abortive,” Umar said.He gave two conditions regarding some of his belongings, that the plaintiff should return all his client’s credentials, house certificates and cars and relinquish her rights in their joint rice company before the divorce.
