This was the verdict of an upper Sharia court sitting at Sabon Gari, after the case was brought before it by the aggrieved wife.
The husband by name, Abdullahi Ahmad was dragged to the court by his ex-wife, Umma Usman, who told the court that the defendant had divorced her and asked her to vacate his house after infecting her with the dreaded disease.
The victim informed the honourable court that both of them had been living together as a couple for about 13 years and that she had several children with him before she later found out that he is HIV/AIDs positive.
The court was also told that the defendant issued the hapless woman a divorce letter, knowing that he infected her with the disease.
Umma is praying the court to quash the divorce letter issued to her by her husband and compel him to re-marry her since he is the one that infected her.
In his verdict, the Judge, Malam Farouk Ahmad, granted the complainant’s plea, canceled the divorce letter issued to her by the husband and ordered him to immediately re-marry her.
Judge Ahmad said under Islamic Sharia Law, “it is binding on the husband to stay with the woman for the rest of his life being the one responsible for her getting an infection that has no known cure.”
He ordered him to take good care of the woman henceforth.
