Just imagine! 30-year-old woman who has been denied action on bed by her husband has begged the court to dissolve her marriage of 18 years to her husband.
The woman, simply identified as Toyin, who works as a nurse at a traditional hospital, told an Ikorodu Customary Court to end her union with one Olive Omoletu. She explained that the man has not performed his duty on bed for the past nine years.
The woman said her husband had always complained of tiredness to escape her overtures. “Since we had our last son, my husband has refused to perform his $exual duty.
I would have left him since but he was always seeking my mother’s intervention. Not quite long, I discovered that someone placed a thunderbolt (in local parlance – magun) on me, but I was helped by a traditionalist.
“He also consumes too much of alcohol drinks and very hostile to me and my children. I beg this court for instant dissolution of this marriage to enable me to move on with my life”, Toyin, who resides at Hassan Street, Majidun area of Ikorodu, pleaded. Meanwhile, the 46-year old husband, who is a welder, also begged for a possible reconciliation.
”Please help me beg my wife, I will make amends, I do not want her to leave me,” he pleaded. After listening to both parties, the President of the court, Mr T.K. Dabor, ruled that the couple should go their separate ways as the marriage had broken down irretrievably.
He granted the custody of the children to Toyin pending the outcome of the family court’s ruling. Dabor ordered the husband to pay a monthly upkeep allowance of N15, 000 for the three children of the marriage and that he should have free access to them.
