A 35-year-old man, Abubakar Muhammad, on Monday prayed a Sharia Court ll in Magajin Gari, Kaduna, to order his ex-wife Nusubi Haliru, to return the suitcases containing all the groom’s presents he gave her before they got married.
Counsel to the appellant, Mr Shuaibu Lawal said, “the defendant should return the gifts since the marriage between the duo only lasted for two months”.
He added that the defendant also took away some property of his client after their marriage was dissolved by the court.
NAN reports that the court on May 23, dissolved the marriage after the complainant issued two pronouncements of divorce to the defendant.
However, counsel to the defendant, Ay Ahmad, urged the court to instruct the petitioner to list all the items he provided with their costs.
“We want to know if the items were given in as a gift, dowry or loan,” he stated.
The Judge, Malam Muhammad Al-misry, after listening to both parties, adjourned the case until July 10 for mention.
Al-misry also ordered the petitioner to list all the items he wants the court to recover.
