‘Find her a suitor’ — Father drags daughter to court over delay in marriage
A father of 11, Lawal Hamisu, on Tuesday asked the Shari’a Court II sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna, to compel his daughter, Fatima Lawal, to find a suitor and get married.
The complainant, through his counsel, H.B. Debo, told the court that his 27-year-old daughter had completed her Higher National Diploma (HND) and had received interest from several admirers but had failed to present a serious suitor.
“She should find a suitor, bring him before the court, and the court should marry her off because her mother has turned her against me,” the angry father said.
Fatima, however, told the court that she did not have any serious suitor, adding that none of her admirers had proposed marriage.
The judge, Malam Yakubu Abdullahi, described the matter as sensitive because it involved a parent and child. He said he would meet with both parties separately to understand their positions and offer further advice.
The judge adjourned the case until August 3, 2026, for ruling.
