A court has overruled a man's demand that his 37-year-old daughter not marry a man from a different tribe.

The man, codenamed MOA, refused to grant his daughter permission to marry a man from the Nubian community, insisting she could only do so after his death.

Court documents reveal that MOA remained unmoved by the pleas of his children and friends, who tried to convince him to let the mother of two and divorcee enjoy a new relationship.

Undeterred, the woman, codenamed HSM, took her father to the Kadhi's court.
