    London woman who married self files for divorce one year after

    A London-based Brazilian influencer and model, Sullen Carey, has divorced  after a year of self-marriage.  .

    Carey made headlines last year when she wed herself in a ceremony widely recognised as “sologamy.”

    Sologamy is the unconventional act of marrying oneself and it is seen as a celebration of self-love and independence.

    She shared the unconventional event with her 400,000 Instagram followers, attracting significant media attention worldwide.

    Carey’s decision to end her solo marriage came despite efforts to make it work, including attending couple therapy sessions alone.

    Carey sought therapy to navigate her emotions, undergoing 10 sessions to save her self-marriage. Ultimately, she decided that ending the marriage was the healthiest choice. “I was putting a lot of pressure on myself, which left me exhausted,” she confessed, acknowledging the emotional toll it had taken.

    Though she described marrying herself as an “enriching” experience and a journey of self-discovery, Carey said she has no regrets about ending it. “I realised my sologamous marriage was a healing process, but personal growth can lead us in different directions,” she explained.

    Carey said she is ready for a new chapter, expressing openness to a traditional relationship. “I’ve decided it’s time to move on and open my heart to new possibilities, including finding a partner.”

    “He does not care about how I feel, and he has stopped asking where I get the food I cook for the family from; he just eats and goes out every day.

    “He has abandoned our matrimonial bed for me and the children, as he now sleeps on the couch in the living room, without any affection or care.”

    “I struggle to sell Garri for a living and even go around borrowing money to feed the family, but my husband does not care to know,” she said.

    ‘My wife will get divorce if she pays me N160,000’

    A businessman, Yahaya Mohammed, has told an Upper Area Court in Kubwa, FCT that he will grant his wife, Hauwau Hamza, divorce if she pays him N160, 000.

    Mohammed and Hamza got married according to Islamic law sometime in 2020 and do not have children together.

    Hamza had approached the court seeking dissolution of her marriage with Mohammed on the grounds of lack of care and respect.

    ”If she wants a divorce, she has to get me another wife. I want my wife to pay me all I spent on her at our wedding.

    ”I paid N60,000 as dowry to marry my wife and spent N100,000 for her clothes. She should pay me back the total sum,” he said.

    Responding, the petitioner said if it were Islamically appropriate for her to get a wife for her husband before he grants her divorce, she will do so.

    She said Mohammed did not spend up to N160,000 on her, adding that her dowry was N60,000 only.

    “I do not have N160,000 to give him, only if he can also pay me for the satisfaction I gave to him during the marriage and the cooking I have done over the years,” the petitioner  said.

    Mohammed, however, said if the petitioner claimed that she had satisfied him, he had also catered to her feeding and welfare in the marriage.

    The Judge, Mohammed Wakili, said that it was not Islamically appropriate for the petitioner to get the respondent another wife before he grants her divorce.

    Wakili adjourned the matter till October 17 for judgment.
