The court had accepted their statement and asked the complainant if she would swear with the Qur’an affirming that her husband had abandoned her.
The judge, Malam Abubakar-Tureta had adjourned the case to Jan 18 for the complainant to swear and redeem herself from the marriage.
The complainant who swore with the Qur’an under the supervision of the judge said “I have divorced myself once”.
The judge ruled that the divorce was valid adding that the complainant would observe Iddah(waiting period) for three menstrual circle but if the husband returns before she finishes her iddah,the union remains.
