The Judge of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Magistrate Court, Sheikh Ayuba Abubakar, has expressed concern over the alarming rate of divorce among young couples in the FCT.
Abubakar voiced his concern while speaking at the recent Annual Ramadan Lecture.
He said: ”As a judge, we are having a high rate of divorce, especially the rate in the FCT is so alarming, young couples in two years, three years marriage, dragged themselves to courts. And we discovered that in so many of it there is no other way than to just separate them to live in peace.
“The implication is that if we don’t follow the Islamic regulation by making prayers to Allah for guidance and follow the Islamic teaching, there will be domestic problems. This teaching is for the husband to know his duty and his rights and for the wife to lower her duty and rights and by the time you think of those rules, it is to bring harmony in our homes.”
Abubakar urged parents to take a lead role in the decision of their children in taking a life partner. He said this would help guide their choices and ensure the couple lives together happily thereafter.
According to him, if a woman is religious, it gives you 70 percent guarantee that the choice of their children in marriage will not be biased.
