My husband gives me only N50 for food, woman tells court

A hearing-impaired woman, Hauwa’u Bello, has dragged her husband, Usman Shuaibu, to a Shari’a court sitting in the Magajin Gari area of Kaduna State, on grounds that he gives her only N50 for food.

The woman, who communicated through sign language which was interpreted by one Aisha Sulaiman on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, said her husband was starving her.

Bello said: “We got married in 2016, and my parents provided food for us. The problem started when the food finished.

“He has failed in his responsibilities to provide for the house. He is a tailor.

Court sentences couple to 20 years in prison for drug trafficking

“When I delivered my baby, he couldn’t pay the hospital bill; it was his mother who provided the money.”

She disclosed that their parents had intervened and advised her husband to provide his family’s needs, but he didn’t change.

She prayed court to dissolve the marriage.

Shuaibu denied Bello’s claims.

The presiding judge, Kabir Muhammad, ordered the couple to present their parents or guardians on August 25.
