An Upper Area Court in Mararaba, Nasarawa State has ordered a housewife, Maryam Abdulmalik, to return N85,000 cash to her estranged husband, Sani Idris.
Judge Mohammed Jibril gave the order on Thursday.
The judge also ordered Ms Abdulmalik to return the unsewn wrappers he bought her as gifts.
The petitioner, TheNewsGuru gathered, had in a divorce petition told the court that she was no longer in love with her husband and wants out.
The husband, however, pleaded with his estranged wife, saying he still loved her.
Ms Abdulmalik said that she married Mr Idris in January 2020 under Islamic rights in Rugan Maliki, Mararaba Gurku, Nasarawa State.
“I lived with my husband for a year and some months.
“He does not care for me. I am ready to pay for my redemption in accordance with Islamic Law Procedures and Practice because I do not have any feelings for him,” she said.

The judge ordered Mr Idris to allow his wife to move her belongings out of his house.
Mr Jibril adjourned the case until October 4 for the dissolution of the marriage.
