‘I drew knife at my husband after he beat me for refusing him s*x’

•She always insisted I use condom —Husband

TRIBUNE

The Grade A Customary Court, Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State, has ruled in a divorce suit brought before it by a man, Saheed against his wife, Sekinat, on the grounds of lack of love, constant denial of s3x and wasteful habit.

Saheed stated that Sekinat was too cold for comfort.

According to him, she never showed any interest in his welfare and constantly denied him s3x.

Saheed, in addition, said that the few times Sekinat agreed on s3x, she insisted he used condom which to him was absurd.

The plaintiff further added that the defendant, despite being mindful of the tight economy being witnessed in the country, was in the habit of cooking food in excess and throwing away the remaining after eating to her fill.

Saheed said his relationship with Sekinat has turned sour and that peace had deserted their home as a result of Sakirat irrational behaviour.

He, therefore, prayed the court to dissolve their union.

Sekinat agreed to divorce and pleaded for the custody of their children, whom she stated he never displayed any responsibility towards or showed any care.

Saheed, giving his testimony, said, “I have studied Sekinat for the few years we have been married, and it is obvious that she does not love me.

“My wife treats me with disdain and pours insults on me.

“We fight almost all the time because she ignores her duties in the home and, more importantly, towards me.

“Sekinat does not look after my welfare and is not interested in my wellbeing.

“She cares less about my appearance and what I eat.

“My lord, my wife denies me s3x.
