A man has been ordered to pay four cows to his estranged wife as dowry debt after they ended their 26-year marriage.
Senior Principal Kadhi Ali Wako in Garrisa ordered the man (MAM) to alternatively pay his estranged wife (FOO) cash equivalent to four healthy cows.
“The Respondent (husband) shall pay the petitioner (wife) her unpaid mahr of four cows within 90 days from today, either by delivering four healthy, mature cows in Garissa or by paying the prevailing market value of four such cows in Garissa as at the date of payment,” said Wako.
The Senior Principal Kadhi ruled that the two may obtain a joint valuation from the livestock market office or two reputable livestock traders and if they disagree, either party may apply for directions from the court.
