A woman, Bridget Urieto, has asked the Ile Tuntun Customary Court, Mapo
Hall, Ibadan, Oyo State, to dissolve her 13-year- old marriage to her
husband, Elis, whom she described as a drunkard and an irresponsible
man.
The plaintiff said: “Our marriage is blessed with
four children. The reason I want to divorce my husband is because of his
non – challant attitude, because he doesn’t take care of his home. He
is a drunkard and used to beat me.
“He drinks to the extent that if I challenge him, he will turn me and
my children into punching bags. We have been living apart for months
now.
“He took my children to his village in Ekpoma, Edo State, without my
consent and during the resumption of this session in their school, he
did not allow my children to go to school.
“Later, I went to his parent in the village to see my children but to my
surprise, his parent did not allow me to come inside their house and
did not allow me to see my children. I went to lodge in a hotel with my
father because they didn’t allow us to sleep over.”
But the defendant, who agreed with the wife for the dissolution of their
marriage, said she embarrasses him in public and that she used to cause
troubles.
“I have being enduring a lot all these days and anytime we had
misunderstanding, she would shout all over the street. I am tired of
being her husband because she rains curses on me every time. I am in
support of the divorce,” he told the court .
The case has been adjourned till 14, December, 2016, while the defendant
was ordered to come along with the children and his family members.
