An Area Court sitting in the Centre-Igboro area of Ilorin has dissolved the Islamic marriage between Aminat Musa and Fatai Ahmed over childlessness.
The presiding judge, Toyin Aluko, who granted the woman’s request for dissolution, ordered her to observe a one-month iddah (waiting period) before remarrying.
Aluko said the woman could apply for a divorce certificate at the High Court registry.
Earlier, Musa told the court that she had been married to Ahmed for 15 years under Islamic rites, but the union had produced no children.
“I am no longer interested in the marriage because there is no child, love or affection.
“I want the court to dissolve the marriage,” she pleaded.
