Court Orders Pregnancy Test After Divorced Wife Claimed She’s Pregnant

A Shari’a Court sitting in Magajin Gari, Kaduna, has ordered a pregnancy test for a divorcee, Khadija Abdurrahman, following a dispute over her claim that she was pregnant with her former husband.

Presiding judge, Malam Mu’awiya Shehu, directed both parties to report to Yusuf Dantsoho General Hospital in Kaduna for the test and return to court with the result on Aug. 11.

Earlier, the woman’s former husband, businessman Muhammad Auwal, asked the court to determine whether Abdurrahman was pregnant.

His counsel, M. Salahuddeen, said his client divorced Abdurrahman in March but had since received conflicting claims about a pregnancy.

“She called me, disturbing me with unverified claims of pregnancy. She has also called to inform me that she was not pregnant.
