If you beat your wife, you would lose your title– Emir of Kano warns Imams and Traditional leaders

Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido II, has warned Imams and traditional rulers in Kano state to desist from beating their wives otherwise they would lose their titles. The monarch who is a strong advocate against domestic violence, said this at a mass wedding organized in the state over the weekend.

"You should all come back to your senses and stop these barbaric [acts] because we will not allow this to continue in Kano. I have warned all district heads, village heads, ward heads and imams to also desist from the bad habit of beating their wives and whoever among them is reported to me to have beaten up his wife, would outrightly lose his title.” he said

The monarch added that his team is working on a bill that will stop poor men from marrying more than one wife.

“We are going meet on Wednesday this week to review the over 80 pages of the law and make the necessary adjustment before presenting it to the State House of Assembly for passage into law.

Our people are facing serious challenges in their family affairs. We have heard series of complaints where a father forced his daughter to marry someone against her wish. We have heard so many cases where people marry additional wives while they could not feed them well, clothe them well or give them good shelter even though they have the means to do so.

In this case, the proposed law provides that, a court of law would take something out of the man’s wealth to feed his family, give them shelter and clothes. In the event the man makes any attempt to resist the court’s directives, then the law takes necessary action against him. If you know, your salary cannot take care of more than one wife, you should not get an additional wife” he said
