Kwara Court Ends Marriage After Wife Files For Divorce Due To Husband’s Financial Issues

An Area Court at Centre-Igboro in Ilorin has officially dissolved the Islamic marriage between Toyin Ajibola and Bashirat Mohammed due to financial difficulties.

On September 25, Judge Hammad Ajumonbi stated that despite Mr. Ajibola’s love for his wife, it was necessary for her to move forward and not remain in a precarious situation.

The court awarded custody of their three children to the wife and mandated that she observe a three-month iddah (waiting period) before remarrying. Judge Ajumonbi also instructed Mr. Ajibola to contribute to the children’s sustenance to the best of his ability and to have unrestricted access to them.

Earlier, Ms. Mohammed had filed for divorce, expressing her frustration with her husband’s financial irresponsibility. She requested the dissolution of their marriage to find peace of mind. In response, Mr. Ajibola acknowledged his financial struggles but expressed his desire to maintain the relationship, lamenting his inability to support his family adequately.
