Malama Khadija, a mother from Kano, ended her own marriage and wed the lover of her daughter.According to reports, she wed him in the state’s Rano Local Government Area after her daughter Aisha declined his marriage proposal.
However, the woman’s family alleged that the Hisbah Commandant of Rano LGA had married off their daughter without their knowledge and without their consent.
When they found out that Khadija had wed her daughters fiance without telling her family, they went to a radio station to make a report.Khadija afterwards came to the station and responded that she was content with her new spouse and that she was.
The woman claims that Muslim clerics assured her that her marriage was not against Islamic law.Malama Khadija made the decision to protect herself and her daughter from losing the lover after her daughter declined his request for her hand in marriage.
She asserted that she then contacted his future husband’s family to set up the marriage ceremony.”I didn’t do it out of ignorance,” she claimed. When I contacted clerics, they informed me that it was not forbidden in Islam.
“My parents and other family members declined to perform the marriage rites, but the new husband agreed when I called him. I made the decision to travel to Hisbah for that reason, and we are now happily married.”
She put pressure on her husband to annul their marriage so that she could wed the man.
We declined to get married to them since we couldn’t do this disgusting thing in our family.
Hisbah’s actions have not satisfied us, and we want them to bring out our daughter. We want the general commandant and the state government to look into the matter,” he said.
