Abdullahi Ahmad,a middle-aged man has been ordered to re-marry Umma Usman,the wife he divorced after infecting her with HIV/AIDs virus.
This was the verdict of an upper Sharia court sitting at Sabon Gari, after the case was brought before it by the aggrieved wife.
Abdullahi was dragged to the court by his ex-wife, Umma, who told the court that the defendant had divorced her and asked her to vacate his house after infecting her with the virus.
She said that both of them had been living together as a couple for about 13 years and that she had several children with him before she later found out that he is HIV/AIDs positive.
Abdullahi issued Umma a divorce letter, knowing that he infected her with the disease.
Umma asked the court to quash the divorce letter and compel him to re-marry her since he was the one that infected her.
The Judge, Malam Farouk Ahmad, canceled the divorce letter and ordered Abdullahi to immediately re-marry her.
Judge Ahmad said under Islamic Sharia Law, “it is binding on the husband to stay with the woman for the rest of his life being the one responsible for her getting an infection that has no known cure.”
He ordered him to take good care of the woman.
