A Kaduna Sharia Court on Wednesday dissolved the marriage between one Maryam Ahmed and Sanusi Idris of Maje Village in the Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State, after barely 30 days of the marriage.

The court also directed Maryam to refund N25,000 paid to her as dowry by Idris in addition to returning clothes presented to her for the marriage.

Maryam,16, had prayed the court to dissolve her marriage to Idris, 27, after just 30 days into the marriage because of a lack of interest in Idris.

She told the court that she would refund the dowry after the dissolution of the marriage.

In his submission, Maryam’s guardian, Malam Ahmed Maje, told the court that Idris had paid N25,000 as dowry.

Idris, however, claimed that he paid N45,000 as dowry to Maryam and not N25,000, explaining that he also paid N16,000 as compensation to one of Maryam’s suitors.

He said further that he provided N35,000 to Maryam for clothing and an additional N45,000, which she requested for to purchase other materials for the marriage.

Idris said that unless the money he spent on Maryam was returned, he would not grant her the divorce.

In his judgement, the Khadi, Malam Ibrahim Inuwa, said that a woman could seek divorce provided that “she is sane, mature and not under any duress or influence”.

He, subsequently, dissolved the marriage. (NAN)

16yrs old...married? That girl should be in SS2 if toes d line of being educ8ed. #16000 compensation for her suitor is very funny. I see no love in all this man & woman joined 2gether phenomenon. Can we call this custom or foolishness in this present age?

25k is still on the high side.

odiaero: Jeez, this means i can buy all the girls in the north

sexyverah: 25k to marry wife at this jet age..... anyways them b abokis........

Is it too much or too small? Because I know some tribes that collect about 10% or less than that. Besides, I think the issue of contention here should the age of the girl - obviously under-aged, and not what was paid as bride price.

What they are doing is still within sharia islamic Injunction

I hope the man never plant any seed inside her oo, otherwise the bride price will reduce drastically.

More like 30 days money back guarantee

Bro you talk as if you are not Nigerian. No one cares if she is under aged. Everyone is interested on how much paid. Most guys are even planning to invade the North to catch some of the yet to ripe Yanriyans.

I think Al-harem can arrange as many as NLers` wanted.

What are you people saying? The issue here is not the age of the girl or the amount paid. The issue is that the girl doesnt like the marriage.
It is customary in their culture to marry early. 16, 17 or even 15. Unlike our igbo girls who will wait until their breast touches the ground and must have dated 20 different men. In return, they will come out here to tell us how the one she chose to marry could not satisfy her sexuall.y simply because she is playing mind comparisons between the husband and the million di.cks she has tested.
The man should take his money and go, the marriage is already a fairlure.


And for the girl who said that 25k is small in the jet age, grow up. Its people like you who rips men off in the name of marriage and turn to disrespect him when the money dries up.

. Isn't this child abuse? Hmmmm!

The N25000 znt bride price. So that z not d value of d lady; it z just a mutually agreed amount or gift given by the man to the bride as one of the legal requirements for a wedding / nikkah. It is also preferred to be a small amount or gift as the prophet was reported to av said 'the most blessed marriage is one in which the marriage partners place the least burden on each other.' (al-Haythami, Kitab ab-Nikah, 4:255).

it be like say the guy johnthomas is too goliath for the babe engine. yeye islamist injunction!

Everyday way of life in the North! Marriage at the age of 16yrs was even late. N25,000 dowry plenty sef. They even pay far less in the north. How else will a man who can hardly feed himslf be able to marry as much as 4- 6 wives?[/b]

"Catch them young" spirit abi? What would you do if a man comes to ask for your daughter's (of the same age) hand in marriage, would you accept? Let's not talk for talking sake. What is wrong will always be wrong.

Are you saying you are worth N1000.00? I dont mean to be sarcastic, but permit me to say this... that is almost too cheap.

30 days after marriage, the judge should focus on the fucking aspect,if they Bleep with or without condom and if by any means the girl don carry belle
