She questioned my client’s daughter in-law, shortly after her marriage, on why she got pregnant early.

A septuagenarian, Hajiya Amina Abubakar, on Monday dragged Shamsiya Sa'adu before a Sharia Court in Magajin Gari, Kaduna State, for allegedly interfering in her daughter-in-law's marriage.

Abuubakar, through her counsel, Muhammad Nasir alleged that because of Sa'adu's interference, she caused friction between her son and his wife, Nusaiba Samaila.

"She questioned my client's daughter in-law, shortly after her marriage, on why she got pregnant early.

"Sa'adu told Samaila to abort the pregnancy but she refused, few days after that, she had a miscarriage," he said.

The counsel also alleged that Sa'adu gave poison to his client's daughter in-law to kill.

"My client has warned Sa'adu to stay away from her daughter in-law but she refuses to do so," he said.

He prayed the court to warn Sa'adu to refrain from his client's in-law's marital affairs and sanction her accordingly for her bad utterances.

The defendant, Sa'adu, 22, who resides in Maraban Jos, Kaduna, however, denied the allegations.

The Judge, Malam Rilwanu Kyaudai, adjourned the case until June 7.

He ordered the complainant to produce witnesses on their claims on the adjourned date.

He also granted bail to the defendant with a reliable surety who must be a Nigerian and known to the court.
