 Woman sentenced to death for adultery awaits appeal
Hussaini's 13-month-old girl, Adama, the product of the union that prompted authorities to charge her with adultery, is small for her age and stares feebly at strangers while nursing weakly.
Hussaini initially argued she was innocent of adultery because she had been raped by her neighbor, Yakubu Abubakar.
Hussaini repeated the claim, saying the conception had occurred before they divorced "some years ago." Sokoto's Islamic law accepts arguments that conception and birth could occur up to seven years apart despite the biological improbability, her lawyers argue.

TUNGAN TUDU, Nigeria (AP) — Safiya Hussaini admits having a baby several years after divorcing her husband, but denies it was adultery — the crime that has made her the first person sentenced to death by stoning under Islamic law implemented in a dozen northern Nigerian states.
