I no longer feel connected to my husband, says divorce seeking wife

 A 29-year-old housewife, Maryam Aliyu, has prayed a
Mararaba Grade 1 Area Court, to dissolve her 9-year-
old marriage to her husband, Abubakar Ja’afaru, for
lack of care. The marriage, contracted in 2006
according to the Islamic rites, has not produced any
issue.
The petitioner accused her husband of not taking
good care of her. “My husband does not provide me
with food or good clothes; I am the one who always
look after myself as if am single.
”We have been married for nine years, but no child
though our sex life is good, but I don’t feel connected
to my husband,
”I want the court not to waste time on this case
because I don’t want to stay under the same roof with
him as my husband anymore,” she said Defending
the allegations, Ja’afaru said he still loves his
wife. ”We don’t have children, but I still love her as
my wife, I pray the court not to grant her the
divorce.
”Children comes from Allah and I have faith we will
have our children someday. ”There is food at home,
things had not been easy for me that is why I can’t
afford to buy her clothes always, but I do my best as
a husband,” Ja’afaru said.
The Judge, Mr Owuna Musa advised the couple to go
home and try to settle. He adjourned the case till
Aug. 24, to hear the outcome of the settlement or
give his judgment.
