Earlier, the judge disqualified the two witnesses who testified on her behalf, saying, “their testimonies lacked substance of the abuse as claimed before the court.”He further adjourned the case until July 11, for continuation of hearing.

I cannot live under the same roof with her husband due to his constant physical abuse.Earlier, the 14-year-old bride presented two witnesses to prove her case before the court.
A witness, their Landlord, Quadin Ibrahim, told the court that he never experienced the young couple’s fight “I witnessed an incident where she ran out of the house naked on one occasion and later her parents came to took her to their house,” he said.
