Nasarawa court dissolve five year old marriage over threat to life
A very interesting and concerning news!
According to reports, a court in Nasarawa State, Nigeria has dissolved a five-year-old marriage over threats to the life of the wife.
The court, presided over by Justice Suleiman Belgore, granted the wife's request for divorce after she alleged that her husband had been threatening to kill her.
The wife, who preferred not to be named, told the court that her husband had been physically and emotionally abusing her, and had even threatened to kill her on several occasions.
The court heard that the husband, who was not present in court, had been making life unbearable for the wife, and that she had been living in fear for her life.
In granting the divorce, the court ordered the husband to pay the wife a sum of N500,000 as compensation for the trauma and suffering she had endured during the marriage.
This is a very disturbing case, and it highlights the need for greater awareness and action to address the issue of domestic violence in Nigeria. It is unacceptable that a person can be subjected to such abuse and threats, and it is heartening that the court has taken steps to protect the wife's life and well-being.
It is also important to note that this case is a reminder that domestic violence can happen to anyone, regardless of their background or social status. It is a serious issue that requires a collective effort to address, and it is crucial that we work together to create a society where everyone can live free from fear and violence.
