A
27-year-old woman, Mrs. Morufat Awinle, told an lgando Customary Court
sitting in Lagos that after her husband, Musibau, stopped her from
having more children, he insisted on having séx with her everyday.
The mother of three however informed the court that whenever she refused to have séx
with him, he would beat the hell out of her. She claimed that her
husband lacked care for her and their children, adding that this forced
her to relocate to her parents home. "It was my mother that was
responsible for the payment of the children’s school fees and other
things”.
Morufat
added that her husband sent their first born to his elder brother to
avoid his responsibility of taking care of him, saying the brother could
not take care of the child alongside his own children. But she pleaded
that the court should not dissolve the marriage, because she still loved
her husband.
In his submission, Musibau informed the court that he did not enjoy the marriage as, according to him, the wife denied him séx often. "Though l was the one that stopped her from having more children, it pained me whenever she denied me of séx”.
The
petitioner added that despite the fact that they had lived together as
husband and wife for eleven years, his wife did not give him peace of
mind. He alleged that his wife destroyed his property at will, and had
no respect for members of his family.
Musibau
urged the court to dissolve the marriage and grant him custody of the
children. The court president, Mr. Tajudeen Adewale, adjourned the case
for further hearing.
