After heated arguments by the counsels of both parties, the plaintiff’s counsel quoted verses from the Holy Quran to support his arguments, notifying the court that the marriage was illegal according to Islamic religion..
The judge, Justice Mahe after hearing from both sites, adjourned the case to Monday 25th July 2022.
