A housewife, Halima Usman, has approached a Sharia Court in Minna, seeking dissolution of her marriage to Suleiman Mohammed, because of the latter’s alleged indifference to their childlessness, over two years of getting married.
The housewife told the court that her husband was not worried about the childlessness. She said; “I do not love and adore my husband any longer. We have been married for two years plus without a child, and he is not worried or doing anything about it at all. That is why I am asking this court to end our marriage.
The petitioner also alleged that her husband was secretly making plans to marry another wife. Mohammed, however, denied his wife’s claims, saying he still loves her and would not want them to go separate ways. He prayed the court to give him more time to prevail on his wife to remain with him.
The judge, Ahmed Bima, advised the couple to give peace a chance. Bima reminded the couple that only God gives children. The judge adjourned the matter until April 18 for both parties to resolve their differences.

*Hmmm maybe he is low on the count...
He is indifferent most likely because he has more faith than the woman and hoping it will happen soon or he has already settled to marry a second wife. The woman is lucky because in SOME cases, it is the Man that starts getting anxious due to family pressure. Madam needs to take a chill pill. I did not get pregnant for a long time. My hubby never asked what was wrong. In fact, he told me he did not want kids because growing up, his Mom had ten kids and things were hard for them. His Sister told me not to accept the fact that he didn't want kids. The day l told him l was pregnant, he froze there looking at me like l just committed the greatest crime in the world. He started staying out late, ignoring me, etc. After l gave birth to my Son, he will carry the baby so long. When l want to nurse him, he will refuse to hand the baby over. I just yanked my baby out of his hands one day as my boobs were hard as a rock and I could barely touch it. Now, he wants another baby but age is not on my side.

DeleteAwwwww
DeleteEyya, some men are scared of being fathers, they wonder if they will make good fathers, they think about all they will have to teach a child. Men who don’t live in the same town as their wives should respect those women cus raising good children is not easy.
DeleteAbout having another child, there’s nothing God cannot do
100% with push up on this.
DeleteMaybe he's the one with the problems or I might just be wrong
ReplyDeleteOr he just dont wanna pressure her.
Delete#You are afraid and want to be brave, but the effort to be brave is fear trying to run away from itself*
ReplyDeleteMaybe he has a love child outside...happened to my friend....she sha Ismail pregnant now and moving on. Men are just so full of shit and always think the world should revolve around them
ReplyDeleteHmmmm either he's a really patient man or another woman has a child(ren) for him
ReplyDeleteMy husband doesn't want children. He has 2 biological children from his late wife. And for me he says he doesn't want. I've done all kinds if things but yet. Am told we have to be on the same page for it to happen.
ReplyDeleteThe fertility treatment and medicine I've taken.
God is bigger than him.
Did you guys not discuss this before getting married? Do you need his permission before you get pregnant?
DeleteDid he tell u this before marriage
Deleteif he doesnt want kids then divorce him and go and remarry.....dont waste your life fighting a battle when you can use that time to be productive.....these are things people should talk about before marriage but we get so caught up with emotions or i must marry syndrome.. am sure he was just looking for a carer for his kids..i dont know your story so cant judge you but pls dont waste your time.if he did not want kids he should have married someone who already had kids from a previous marriage or a single parent
DeleteWicked men with issues and will pretend about it, never to open up to their wife.
ReplyDeleteThis man knows he is shooting blanks that's why he does not care. However, I find indifference to infertility a bizarre reason to divorce someone, unless she is divorcing because she knows he is infertile and she wants a chance with another man to get a child. Stories like this only shows us that unconditional love is a damn lie.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he truly loves his wife genuinely and sure have other thinking going on in his mind
ReplyDeleteNa wa oh. Two years is not enough to be running upandan na
ReplyDelete"maybe he's low on the count" your lack of sense is legendary
