Ahmed therefore dissolved the Islamic marriage between the couple and ordered Sofiat to observe a mandatory three months ‘Iddah’ (being the period she would wait before she could remarry).

Earlier, the applicant told the court that she was tired of her marriage, because there is lack of love between them.

She however pleaded to have custody and maintenance of the child she had for the respondent.
