Khuli’i is a type of divorce where a woman returns the dowry paid during the wedding to the husband in exchange for her freedom.

The counsel explained that his client was willing to return the N10,000 she received as dowry.

Iliyasu’s counsel, Mr M. B Usman, however, told the court that his client divorced Adamu twice.

“My client made the final and third divorce pronouncement on Aug. 17.

“Maybe she didn’t know about the final divorce pronouncement because she no longer lives with my client,” he said.
