"My husband always wants me indoors. I am not used to it. I promise to stop attending parties for the sake of my marriage," she said.

Aminat begged the court to adjourn the case to another date to enable her make reconciliatory moves.

The Judge, Mr Yusuf Abdulkareem, adjourned the case to Dec.9, for report of settlement or continuation of hearing. (NAN)
