Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>An Area Court at Centre-Igboro, Ilorin, Kwara, has dissolved the Islamic marriage between Rashidat Mumeen and Saliman Mumeen at the request of the wife.<\/p>\n

The presiding judge, Abdul Qadir Umar, ruled that the husband and wife should go their separate ways due to their inability to settle their misunderstanding.<\/p>\n

Umar said that the wife should observe the three-month Iddah period, as prescribed by Islam, and that they must conduct another Islamic marriage if they want to continue as husband and wife again.<\/p>\n

He, however, granted Rashidat custody of the four children produced by the union.<\/p>\n

The husband had earlier agreed to the wife\u2019s divorce application but wanted custody of the children to keep them in his mother\u2019s care.<\/p>\n

His wife, however, objected, saying that she wouldn\u2019t allow anyone to take care of her children on her behalf while alive.<\/p>\n
