A 32-year-old man,
Babatunde Tijani , on Thursday asked an Agege Customary Court to dissolve his
three-year-old marriage because of the abusive nature of his wife, Adetola.
Tijani, who resides at
No. 160, Iyana ipaja, Abeokuta Express road, told the court that his wife was
in the habit of fighting him and using foul language on him.
``My wife is too
troublesome, whenever we have a misunderstanding, she threatens to kill me.
"It got to the
stage where she used a knife and broken bottle to injure me and accused me of
having extramarital affairs.
"Adetola is fond
of embarrassing me at my place of work and she does not have any regard for my
parents.
“My lord, I want to end
this marriage because I cannot cope with my wife’s disrespect and irresponsible
lifestyle anymore,” he said.
The respondent, 26, who
is a fashion designer and a mother of a 10-month-old child, denied the
allegations.
She told the court that
she was in support of the dissolution of the marriage because she was fed up
with her husband's attitude.
``My husband is
irresponsible and keeps late nights; he is always hanging out with friends and
comes home drunk.
"He does not love
and care for me and our child anymore," she said.
The court’s President,
Mr Philip Williams, adjourned the case to April 28 for judgment.
