Mental problem cause of most marriage crises – Aminudeen
Kano State Deputy Commander-General of Hisbah, Mujahideen Aminudeen, has said that most marital crises are as a result of metal issues.
He revealed that the Kano State Hisbah Board has began plans to start conducting mental health tests for intending couple before marriage, in an effort to reduce rising cases of domestic violence and divorce in the state.
Mujahideen Aminudeen told Ekwutosblog in an interview that the measure is aimed at ensuring couple are mentally fit to live together peacefully.
“We have realized that many of the problems we see in marriages today are linked to mental health. The test will help us know if both partners are truly ready to live together without harming one another,” he said.
“In our marital counseling sessions, we see a lot of women suffering from anxiety and depression, so ensuring mental health stability is crucial to a successful union,” Aminudeen emphasized.
He also expressed concern over the use of alcohol and intoxicants, saying Hisbah has uncovered cases of women selling them at home, which he described as a major contributor to the mental health crisis.
“We have uncovered that there are women at home who are selling alcohol and other intoxicant at homes, this is a major cause for concern for us and it is adding to mental health crisis” Aminudeen stated.
Aminudeen explained that the new requirement will also apply to the divorcees whose marriages are usually sponsored by the government.
“We already have a series of test that are mandatory in the state before marraige, like genotype and sexually transmitted diseases, so adding a mental health evaluation will not be a stretch”
He further urged parents to carefully investigate the character of suitors before giving their approval for any union.
The announcement comes on the heels of a disturbing case in Farawa Quarters in May 2025 where 18-year-old Saudat Jibril allegedly killed her husband, Salisu Idris, only nine days after their wedding.
