Woman dumps husband, marries daughter’s boyfriend in Kano

A Kano woman, Malama Khadija, has married her daughter’s boyfriend.

Khadija dissolved her own marriage to consummate the new relationship.

This happened after Khadija’s daughter, Aisha, rejected her suitor.

The drama played out in Rano Local Government Area (LGA) of Kano State.

The mother said there was nothing wrong with the development, stating that her action was not prohibited in Islam.

Speaking to Freedom Radio, Malama Khadija explained that since her daughter decided to quit the relationship, she felt that both of them should not lose the man.

The mother stated that she was as beautiful as her daughter.

According to her, she decided to contact the man’s family.

“I didn’t do it with ignorance. I contacted clerics and they said it is not prohibited. When I contacted him, he agreed, but my parents and relatives refused to do the marriage rites. That was why I decided to go to Hisbah and we are happily married now,” she was quoted by Daily Trust.

Khadija’s uncle, Abdullahi Musa Rano, said they refused to allow her to marry the man because she deliberately dissolved her first marriage in order to marry her daughter’s suitor who was not qualified to be her husband.

He accused the Hisbah Commandant of Rano LGA of marrying off their daughter without their consent.

Rano said: “She mounted pressure on her husband to divorce her just to marry the man. We can’t do this shameful thing in our family which was why we refused to join them in marriage. We are not happy with what Hisbah did and we are reporting to bring out our daughter. We want the general commandant and the state government to look into the matter.”

When contacted, the Hisbah Commandant, Ustaz Nura Rano, said only the state command of the board had the right to speak on the issue.
