A Sharia Court in Magajin Gari, Kaduna, on Monday, ordered a housewife, Maryam Dahiru to return N100,000 dowry and the suitcases of clothes she received from her ex-husband Salihu Yakubu.

Delievering a ruling, the judge, Malam Rilwanu Kyaudai, confirmed the divorce between the couple through Khul’i (divorce by mutual Agreement).

“She will only return the clothes she hasn’t used. The complainant has the permission of court to move her belongings from her former husband’s house,” the judge ruled.
