Hadiza told the court that she was seeking the divorce because she had lost interest in the union.
But Sarki-Adar, who represents Gada/Goronyo Federal Constituency of Sokoto State, objected to the petition, arguing that there was no reason for it.
``We have been married since 2007 and lived amicably until April 1, 2010, when Hadiza packed out of the matrimonial home without any provocation.
``All efforts to settle the issue remained unsuccessful as she insisted on putting an end to the union,’’ he said.
Sarki-Adar suggested that Hadiza be sent for ``psychiatric test’’ as her actions appeared abnormal.
The presiding judge, Alhaji Mohammed Lawal, turned down the suggestion, saying there was no basis for it.
Dissatisfied, Sarki-Ada said he would like to take the psychiatric matter to the Upper Sharia Court in Dutse.
The case was then adjourned indefinitely pending the pronouncement of the court in Dutse.
