COURT DISSOLVES 6 YEAR OLD MARRIAGE OVER WIFE’S LESBIANISM CONDUCT

However, in his judgement, Justice Jude Okeke, ordered for the dissolution of the marriage, as the husband had proved the allegations he leveled against his wife, adding that the court was satisfied with the evidence of the petitioner which the respondent did not contradict.

” As the petitioner‘s evidence are admitted by the respondent and admitted evidence need no proof. The court is satisfied with the evidence of the petitioner, which is reasonable and based on the intolerable behaviour of the respondent, founded on lesbianism and adultery”, the court said

The judge noted that the records of the court revealed that the couple was married on October. 12, 2012, at Jos North Marriage Registry, and on October 28, 2013 they had a twin and observed that they both lived in Abuja until the respondent moved to Jos.

The court also observed that on one occasion when the petitioner visited her at Jos to deliver some food items, money and other things for the upkeep of the children, he did not meet the wife at home, and when she was called she said rudely: “If you like you can keep those things at the gate with the gate keeper and go back to Abuja’, adding that, “I am in a friend’s house and I have decided to sleep over there and nothing can make me come back to welcome you,’’

The judge further observed that on another visit by the petitioner, he was made to sleep in a hotel and was prevented from seeing the children, adding that when the petitioner called on the respondent, she told him that she was having a visitor and would not have him and the visitor in the house at the same time.

The court declared that no reasonable man would be expected to put up with such a woman, and in the light of the foregoing, the court resolved the whole issue raised above in favour of the petitioner against the respondent.

” It is declared that the marriage between the petitioner and the respondent contracted on October 12, 2018, at Jos North Marriage Registry, had broken down irretrievably as a reason of intolerable behaviour on the part of the respondent’, the court said’

 

The judge ordered that the custody of the two children will be with their mother and the petitioner would have unhindered access to them at all reasonable hours of the day.
