The woman has said she was the fourth wife of the man who used the Islamic marriage only to satiate his physical appetite.
She has made allegations that she would meet him in a car park and when she looked to expose his actions she was threatened by some of his followers.
He later divorced her via a WhatsApp message after a ten-month Islamic marriage.
Spiritual guides or ‘peers’ are highly revered in some communities and can attract hundreds if not thousands of disciples.
The vast majority do not take any payment and help to guide communities in the righteous Islamic faith. They make a valuable contribution to the communities and followers they serve. They are sincere and pious and provide spiritual and moral guidance on a daily basis.
The woman, who still fears for her safety, did not wish to be named but wanted to raise the issue in the hope it would help other women trapped in such situations to come forward.
She said she was, alongside her parents, an ardent murid (a follower, also translated as committed one) of this peer for many years.
And this trust is abused by some men.
