according to the principles of Sharia. We therefore uphold the decision. However,
we observed that:
1. The Cadi fails to mention the mode of maintenance for the children
especially with regards to their education.
2. The appellant is not actually appealing against the Judgment of the
Cadi but he is worried about their education, well being and care of
the children of which the mother has already undertaken.
3. We also observed that the respondent is willing and ready to give the
appellant access to the children. This is because during the holidays,
she took the elder child to the appellant (father) on his request.
In this regard, since the wife is divorced and the appellant wants the children
to have proper care and good education he has to contribute financially by monthly
payment of D600.00 (six hundred dalasi) for the two children for:
a. Their feeding,
b. Education and upbringing,
Copy of this Judgment will be made available to the Bundung Cadi Court for
their retention and execution in case of default by the appellant.
