She’s having affairs
with five men, fights me
with knife, broken
bottles —Husband
“My lord, I’m not likely to see the
end of the year if I go further in this
marriage with my wife. She’s
violent and always threatened me
with dangerous objects any time we
have a misunderstanding. I pray the
court to please separate us.”
These were the words of Olamilekan
Yusuf before Ile Tuntun Customary
Court, Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State.
Olamilekan had dragged his wife,
Damilola to court, praying that it
dissolves their 10-year-old union on
the accounts that she was
disobedient, rude and violent. He
added that she was adulterous and
that he knew quite a number of her
lovers.
He thus told the court to terminate
their relationship and grant him
custody of their two children.
“My lord, my 10-year-old marriage
to my wife has been void of the
intimacy and fulfillment I desire.
My experience from the day one of
our marriage has been that of
frustration all because of my wife’s
irresponsible and indecent acts.
“She took to leaving home as early
as 6:00 a.m. and retuning not
earlier than 10:00 p.m. from the
outset of our marriage. She,
therefore, doesn’t prepare me
breakfast and this continued when
we started having our children.
“Our children lack proper care
while the house is always looking
untidy and dirty.
“Whenever I complain about her
care free attitude towards me and
our children, she will flare up and
rain abuses on me. On many
occasions, this will result into a
fight.
“Any time we fight, she will turn
violent and rush for a knife or a
broken bottle and threaten to stab
me with either.
“Our neighbours do come to my
rescue on many occasions, but she
will end up fighting them.
“She has no friends among our
neighbours because she has fought
with all of them. Her relationship
with my family members is also
poor. She has no respect and regard
for my mother and elder sister, they
therefore keep her at arm’s length,
“the plaintiff stated in court.
“My lord, the worst of it all is that
she’s promiscuous. She has been
unfaithful to me since the past six
years. I have the phone numbers of
eight of her lovers and know five of
them. Two out of her lovers are
dead.
“My wife receives calls from her
lovers in my presence late in the
night. I have come across love text
messages sent to her by her lovers
which she can’t deny.
“My lord, I’m tired of her indecent
lifestyle and I don’t want to die as a
result of STDs. I, therefore, pray to
be separated from her, the
defendant stated.
The defendant acceded to divorce,
but disagreed that her husband
should have custody of their
children.
“I’m also fed up with our marriage
because my husband can kill,
“Damilola said.
“My lord, my husband is having an
affair with my best friend and he
rented a house for her. My other
friends know this and one of them
is in court today as a witness.
“He lied that I’m promiscuous. I’m a
decent and responsible woman. He’s
in the habit of going through my
call logs and will always accuse me
of dating other men. He believes I
was with other men any time I
returned home late. He would shout
and rake and would end up beating
me.
“We often quarrel because he
doesn’t want me to work which is
unacceptable to me. I don’t believe
in depending on my husband solely
for survival. He said I shouldn’t
work, but he has not been taking
good care of me and our children. I
provide most of the things our
children need.
“I sell food stuff and I ensure I cook
for the family every morning before
leaving home.
“I have kept his misconduct away
from his family members because I
don’t want to create division in his
family, “the defendant stated.
After he had listened to both
parties, the court president, Chief
Olasunkanmi Agbaje stated that
more evidence would be needed.
He, therefore, adjourned the case till
November 29 and ordered both
parties to come to court with their
children and parents.
