An emotional divorce hearing took a dramatic turn on Monday when a father of two claimed his deep love for his wife affected his ability to focus on work. Kabiru told the court that his affection for his wife was so overwhelming that it distracted him from work and limited his earning capacity. “I could not provide enough for my family because of the intense love I have for my wife,” he told the court. According to Jibril, the complainant was prepared to return the N100,000 dowry she received to redeem herself from the marriage. He told the court that he spent substantial sums on his wife before their marriage and wanted those costs considered.
