Ganduje: Government to enact anti-divorce law

Ganduje: Government to enact anti-divorce law

Kano state Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, on Friday said the state government would enact a law that will address increasing divorce in the state.

He made the assertion while meeting with Hisbah Guards, KAROTA, vigilante groups, Vehicle Inspection Officers and civil society organizations at Coronation Hall, Kano Government House.
Ganduje directed the state Hisbah Board to discuss the issue with Islamic scholars and other contemporary Islamic students with a view to advising government on how the law would be implemented in Islamic perspective and how to implement it.

The governor, who described the increase in divorce rate in the state as worrisome, noted that government would take appropriate action to stop the menace.
He commended the effort of Hisbah Guards in institutionalizing Islamic tenets in the state, assuring that his government would continue to support them to work effectively.
