An eight-month pregnant housewife, Halima Yusuf, has filed a petition for confirmation of divorce in the Upper Area Court Mararaba, Nasarawa State.
Yusuf accused her husband, Isah, of beating her.
In the petition, she also accused her husband of neglecting his responsibilities.
“We got married under the Sharia Islamic law.
“Isah does not provide food, clothing or healthcare for me,” she said.
The petitioner told the court that she was eight months pregnant and had since been living with her parents in Mararaba.
She prayed the court for confirmation of the divorce and an order compelling Isah to take responsibility for her pregnancy.
The Judge, Mohammed Yakubu adjourned the case until June 11 for hearing. (NAN)
