Housewife seeks divorce over husband’s inability to kill rams for naming ceremonies

Rams absent at the naming ceremonies. (Pix credit: asergeev.com)

Please don’t see this as super story. It is happening live in Sokoto. In fact, the matter is in court and the case has been adjourned to May 23, 2017. The story goes this way:

 

A housewife, Rukayya Hamza, of Alkammawa area of Sokoto has taken her husband, Ghazali Garba, before the state’s lower sharia court, requesting to divorce him for not slaughtering rams to mark their children’s naming ceremonies.

Rukayya told the court, presided over by Faruk Ibrahim, that her husband only gave names to the children, Idris and Khadija, 3yrs and 5 months respectively, without slaughtering rams.
She also complained that Ghazali Garba was not feeding her, and most times, beat her, urging the court to dissolve their marriage.

The husband admitted not slaughtering rams during the naming, adding that he was always broke whenever the wife was delivered of a baby. He however denied allegations that he starved his wife of food or maltreated her.

According to Garba, “I did not slaughter rams on the children’s naming because I was insolvent whenever she was delivered of the children. So, I gave names to the children like that.”

While adjourning the matter, the judge called on Rukayya to present witnesses to testify against the husband as she claimed.

  1. this is indeed funny but I think the slaughtering of ram or not it’s not the problem of the woman maybe maltreatment as she said and if the husband is innocent then the woman should be checked if she is mentally and psychologically OK.

  2. I think since killing of a ram is a tradition whenever she delivered so I think it’s the right thing to do….but since he said he has no money during then I think the wife should respect that, that’s if it’s the truth

  8. 2015054109 quiz no. 20

    being a housewife is the worst thing that can ever happen to a lady …..that is why a wife should have something doing to gain some profit, not relying upon her husband always

  9. Awwwww ?poverty is very bad,but the woman should understand that her husband doesn’t have money to purchase the ram for the naming nah than to divorce him.

    Hmm,nawao,I thought marriage is for better for worse.

  13. her reason for divorcing her husband should be because he can’t feed her or because he beats her and not because he can’t kill ram for their childs dedication. if that is the case,then she doesn’t have a reasonable reason.

  14. Hmmm dis is quite funny shaa

  24. Lol.. wife tries to divorce husband because he didn’t kill arms for naming ceremony of the new born kids.. nawa o.. strange things re happening in this world o

  25. It’s quite appauling that wife sued her husband to court for not slaughtering rams for child naming ceremony.but considering different ethnic ideologies I can say it might be a well renowned tradition.that is why she has gone so far to sueing the husband to Court
    But even at that there should be a substitute to that ,than sueing the man to Court. It is very wrong for doing that as a wife

    Quiz no (99)

  26. This case is quite surprising . if it is tradition to kill ram for a child’s naming ceremony the awkward case should be settled traditionally .

  29. The matter of not killing ram for the children naming ceremonies is not as serious as the woman is taking it . Am quite sure the man must had meat in the food served to the guests. The only issue that might come with a repercussion if Ghazali is found guilty is the claim of maltreatment and starvation from the wife.
    Quiz no(98)

  30. okeke chiamaka gabriella

  31. Ohijeh blessing

    Marriage is all about understanding each other.. It is obvious there is no mutual understanding amongst them… If not they would hav settled the case of not killing a ram amicably instead of going to the sharia court…

    This is one of the really- permit me to say ”stupidest” things I keep hearing this year…
    Am only glad she was able to take him to court.. I Never knew that was possible under the sharia system..I don’t believe the ‘beating’ story though..she’s trying to create a case when there’s none.Quiz no 77

  47. Uzor Cecilia Ifunanya

    I think there’s more to her wanting to divorce the husband other than him not killing ram on the kids naming ceremony… It should be a case even because according to the man’s statement it doesn’t seem like the ritual is compulsory

  48. Eze priscillia obianuju

    can’t wait to hear the final verdict

  56. Chukwukadibia Adaobi

    Some women can be so funny..how can some sue her own husband to court because of not killing ram for her children’s naming ceremony..Anyway maybe its their culture. ..but that’s not the reason why she should do that. …2015054029 (QUIZ NO 14)
