A 14-year-old wife, Hadiza Bala on Friday told Gudu Grade II Area Court, Abuja, that she would not go back to her estranged husband for fear of her life. Usman had approached the court for an order to make his in-laws to return his wife back to him. He told the court that after he had problems with his work, his wife started misbehaving by shouting that she could no longer stay married to him. The plaintiff prayed the court to compel the girl’s parent’s to bring her back to his house as the marriage was legally contracted. “I want the court to tell them to return my wife because I married her legally,” he said.
