Imam laments high rate of divorce in Kano
A Kano-based
Islamic Scholar, Muhammad Dauda, has decried the growing rate of
divorce in the state, describing the situation as “worrisome.” “The
rate at which marriages are crashing in Kano these days is alarming,”
Mr Dauda told the News Agency of Nigeria in Kano on Sunday.
He said it is more disturbing that the practice is common among young couples who divorce few months after their marriage.
Mr Dauda, who is the Imam of FRCN FM Pyramid Radio, Kano, identified
poverty as the major cause of the development. He said that some young
men were finding it difficult to feed their wives shortly after
marriage, and described the situation as “unfortunate.” “I have
witnessed times without number the collapse of new marriages in Kano
due to the inability of the husbands to feed their wives,” the Imam
said. He said the situation was now discouraging both bachelors and
spinsters from marriage.
