A woman has prayed the court to
dissolve the union with her husband
on the grounds of irresponsibility on
the husband’s part as well as lack of
romance. A middle-aged woman, Latifat Adeleke,
has asked a Mapo Customary Court in
Ibadan, to dissolve her marriage with
Adetola Adeleke, over alleged sexual
starvation according to P.M news. Latifat, a trader and mother of two, on
Wednesday asked the court to end the
nine-year-old marriage after declaring
that she was “totally fed up.” In her petition to the court, Latifat alleged
that Adeleke, a spare parts dealer, aside
from neglecting his traditional
responsibilities of catering for her and
the two children, had no time for her. “Adeleke has over three to four years
now, failed in his responsibilities as a
husband towards me and as a father to
his two children. “The worst of all, my Lord, is that he has
kept away from having sexual
intercourse with me which greatly
saddens my heart. “We no longer stay together and the
bond of love between us has
disappeared,” Latifat declared. Adeleke, who denied all the allegations
levelled against him by his wife, however
told the court that he was happy to part
ways with Latifat. He alleged that his wife
was adulterous, extravagant and a party
enthusiast. “My lord, this year alone, Latifat has
dubiously obtained close to N300, 000
from me in the name of celebrating
birthday for our children. “I once caught her red-handed with her
lover on our matrimonial bed. “When I asked her if what she did was
right or not, there was no remorse, even
when it actually happened on our
matrimonial home,” he said. “She has been involved in all manners of
atrocities; this is why I called it all off with
her. “Please, my Lord, I don’t want her to take
custody of the eight and six year-old
children, because she doesn’t stay
around; Latifat keeps going to parties,”
Adeleke told the court. After listening to both parties, the
President of the court, Mr Ademola
Odunade, adjourned the matter till Jan.
27, 2016 and directed both parties to
produce evidence to support their claims. I
