Eight months pregnant housewife files divorce petition |

An eight-month pregnant housewife, Halima Yusuf, has filed a petition for confirmation of divorce in the Upper Area Court Mararaba, Nasarawa State.

The housewife accused her husband of beating her in the petition in which she also made an allegation of neglecting his responsibilities.

Yusuf said: “We got married under the Sharia Islamic law.

“Isah does not provide food, clothing, or healthcare for me.”

The petitioner told the court that she was eight months pregnant and had since been living with her parents in Mararaba.

She prayed the court for confirmation of the divorce and an order compelling Isah to take responsibility for her pregnancy.

The Judge, Mohammed Yakubu, adjourned the case until June 11, 2026 for hearing.
