Being aggrieved, the Appellant appealed to the Court Below. On the 11th day of June 2015, the Court Below delivered its judgment by dismissing the appeal and affirming the judgment of the trial Court. Still dissatisfied, the Appellant lodged another appeal to this Court by filing a Notice of Appeal on the 12th of June 2015 predicated upon three grounds as reproduced hereunder less their particulars: 1.

Fingilla, Esq. submitted that the trite position of Islamic Law is that he who asserts must prove by calling evidence to establish his case.

A marriage contract exists between the spouses either de jure or de facto. b. There is actual consummation or possibility of consummation between the spouses without any legal hindrance. This includes seclusion between the husband and
