Kaduna —A 40-year-old-man, Mohammed Abubakar of Hayin Rigasa, Thursday, brought his bride-to-be, Umulkair Ja’afar, before a Shari’a Court in Magajin Gari, Kaduna, for alleged assault and intimidation.

He told the court that arrangement for the wedding had gone far, when Umulkair told him that he must buy her a car before the ceremony could hold.

He said: “We have started making arrangement of getting married, but she requested that I must buy a car for her before she will marry me.

“I told her that I don’t have the money because I just bought my new car.” Abubakar further told the court that his inability to buy a
car for Umulkair ended the wedding arrangement.

He told the court: “After this development, the woman started sending insulting and intimidating text messages to me.”

He said he had witnesses, who would testify on the issue. “I have shown them the messages she has been sending to me. I want to bring them before the court to testify,” he added.

The Presiding Officer, Ibrahim Inuwa, adjourned the case to October 18, for the continuation of hearing.

Abeg help me ask them again!
I wonder hw some of ds hausa pple tink

In the few Nikkais I have attended, they usually say the bride has a right to ask a special gift from the husband which must be fulfilled before they get married. Therefore in this case, I do not htink the lady has done anything wrong if I understand what they usually say.

My question is: why take her to court? Do you want the court to force her to marry you? Or to shut her up from mentioning 'no car,no marriage'?am jst puzzled!

That's the point. She has a right to ask. Its not like she is some kind of witch here.
The culture stipulates that germ demand must be met before the wedding date else, it can't hold so why is the man running about?

The wife-to-be actually thought this man was God-fearing...It's obvious he's not because God-fering men buy cars for their wives

A typical nigerian lady.

....I know where you are going to bro...You too funny abeg dont let them tackle you oooo.

This is to tell you that she is not your wife. "The eyes that will be with you till your old age, will not start dropping water while you are still young".
@P, open your eyes and see well, the moment she gets the car she will demand for another thing and if you can't meet up she goes for who can provide.

But are you sure of this post. Hausa/Fulani are not like this. Or is it that Boko Haram are justified of their fight? It is like the wind of western education has erroded the mental values of northern ladies. This is strange of the Hausa/Fulani that I know or am I not in Nigeria again?

Love of money by women. Dem don dey go court wen dey neva marry. What of when they get married

If the culture says you must meet a particular request for her, why doesnt she request for an (aeroplane) the type, MTN wants to give to a lucky winner

If a woman works to deplete her husband's pocket instead of building it, she is a bad woman.
The basic things a woman should ask for is good accomodation and sufficient resources to keep the couple after marriage. I dont give a damn if you reject my proposal for ignoring your silly requests. If you want my money, lets get married first.


Am not talking to you oooo......

[size=3pt]even tho they don't admit it.... Dats d mentality of most naija ladies [/size]

To sue for damages and being a nuisance. Wasted years, money and emotions.

My dear, these people can convert an ATM into a dustbin in minutes.

That woman must be very greedy. It shows that she must've had other ulterior motives. Why would a car be a prerequisite to marriage? Are you marrying the man or the car? It's not difficult to imagine what it would've looked like if they had married!

This case is still open. The man just told us what the woman said. Am sure she has a reason for her request. Am not taking side now. No one should nail the woman till she presents her case.

i smell islam here!

Now, that woman is in some really serious shit.

Islam-a-bad to women.

Dude you no well at all. My ribs done crack finish for God-fearing.
@post,
WTF nig.ga WTF

This groom is too f....ing slow, she askd for a car, did she mention a make? The last tym i checked, a vw beetle cost btw 10k to 20k abi beetles no bi car?

This is so funny...

He went to seek for restraining order.

If truly the woman is allowed to request for a special gift before the wedding, why is the man complaining? And how will a court solve the problem at hand? Hian o.

Foolish people.

I wonder what Lord Lugard drank before considering amalgamation with this people.

FORGET HER

I hope the car this "aboki girl" wants was made in kaduna,and not the west [us/europe etc... Cos the last time i checked,war on western education is still going on by her "aboki brothers"....

"WORD" Gbam !!!

aboki babes don dey wish up nah ... she no wan waka go mosque, market and so on ... the guy must buy the car ooo or ....

The bride has every right to ask for something special, then if I were in her shoes I'd ask that the groom bought over Dangote group of coys, Abi no be gift.
Either she noticed that the man was stingy and she wouldn't get something like a car from him after the wedding or she's merely being selfish/self-centered. Giving the condition of no-car-no-wedding is rather harsh. After wedding, it could be no-hummer4-no-bedmatics, then no-Lamborghini-no-babies

The man must have gone to court for a restraining order, for according to him, she was already sending insulting and intimidating texts, he probably didn't want it to get to threatening ones.
