The Kadhi also issued a proclamation “to all and sundry in Isiolo” that HHA, who is in her early 40s, is IMI’s legal wife. Senior Principal Kadhi Abdulhalim Athman declined to allow the divorce despite the woman confessing that she was pregnant with another man’s child. HHA had filed a divorce suit seeking to have her marriage with IMI, who is his 80s, dissolved. They were blessed with 10 children, some of whom the court noted were adults and married. The petition for divorce was dismissed and the Kadhi said HHA’s actions were illegal and against public policy.
