Alleged Infidelity Ends 45 Years Old Marriage At Court

Ilani Alhaji and Halima Ilani’s 45-year marriage was dissolved by a Shari’a court in Magajin Gari, Kaduna State, on Monday due to allegations of infidelity.
Malam Anas Khalifa, the judge, upheld the defendant’s single divorce decree following the failure of an out-of-court settlement attempt.
The complainant had previously asked the court to end her marriage to Alhaji, claiming that he had accused her of cheating in front of their kids.

She claimed that she had to put up with the complainant’s failure to fulfill his spousal duties for 20 years in order to protect their kids.

She said: “I am now old and I don’t have energy for these kinds of things; what pains me the most is him suspecting me of cheating.

“I am no longer interested in this marriage.”
