An Igando Customary Court in Lagos on Friday dissolved a 20-year-old marriage between Olayiwola Ajayi and his wife, Isiwa, over battery by wife. The President of the court, Mr Rasak Adeyeri, held that both parties were no longer husband and wife and they were free to go their separate ways. Ajayi, , had alleged that his wife always threatened his life through beating, among other things. “My wife is fond of beating me, she beats me on any slight provocation, I am tired of being brutalised. “A day cannot pass without her laying her hands on me, I am afraid she may kill me one day if I still continue in the marriage”, Ajayi said.
He described his wife as an unfaithful woman who left the house without permission and hardly slept at home.
“My wife can leave the house for a week without telling me. When she returns and I query her about her disappearance from home, she always tell me that she went for vigil.
“I believe that she is seeing another man, she did not go to any vigil”, he said.
He claimed that his wife always stole his money and it was only the two of them that stay in the house.
Olayiwola alleged that his wife did not cook for him nor wash his clothes that he cooked and washed his clothes himself despite his blindness.
The petitioner begged the court to dissolve his 20-year-old marriage, saying he was no longer interested in the union as he did not want to die now.
However, Isiwa, 40, a cleaner, denied all the allegations, but alleged that her husband always denied her sex.
“My husband is starving me of sex, he refused to make love to me, he will be giving me one excuse or the other”, she said.
