A 20-year-old lady Amina Hassan on Tuesday, October 16, dragged her father, Adamu, before a Sharia Court at Magajin Gari, Kaduna over his refusal to allow her marry the man of her dreams.
The young lady who lives with her grandmother on Bashama Road, Tudun Wada in Kaduna, disclosed through her lawyer, Ado Ali, that she wants the court to order her father to allow her marry her beloved suitor.
The complainant added that she had attained marriage age and wants to settle down with the man she loves, but her father had refused to assent to it.

“We want the court to order her father to marry her off to her heartthrob,” her lawyer said in court.
He also explained that if the father remains adamant, the court should serve as the girl’s guardian and marry her off to the man she loves. Ali added that he had made attempts to convince the father to soften his stand, to no avail. According to the counsel, the father is withholding his blessing because the suitor has no regard for him.
However, Amina’s counsel wants the court to grant both parties two weeks to sort things out and reach an agreement. The defendant’s counsel, Nasir Abdullahi, also agreed with the submission of the prosecution counsel for the court to give them time to resolve the issue.
The Judge, Malam Dahiru Lawal, noted that even though the father had the right to assess his daughter’s suitors, he has no right to force anyone on her. Due to this, Lawal ordered the defendant’s lawyer to present the father in court on Monday, October 29, for further hearing.
