I WANT DISSOLUTION OF MY MARRIAGE OVER DENIAL OF SEX, WIFE BEGS COURT

The petitioner also accused her husband of battery, adding that he once beat her in public and she fainted, stressing that trouble started with their marriage since the day her husband brought in the third wife.

“There was joy, love and peace in the house when it was only I, my husband, his first wife, and the children. The new wife always fights me and curses my child’, she told the court

Responding, the husband Olushesi did not deny the allegation of sex starvation, but blamed Bilikisu for being the architect of her problem, adding that his wife once denied him sex and since then he abandoned her.

“Yes, I starved her of sex. It is tit-for-tat. There was a day I entered her room to sleep with her, she left the bed to sleep on the floor. I made an attempt eight times to sleep with her, but she refused. Since that day, I just put her aside, after all she is not the only wife I have.”

The 45-year-old building contractor faulted his wife claim that he was not responsible for her care and their child, but consented to the dissolution of the marriage and urged the court to grant his wife request as he was no longer interested in the marriage.

The judge, Akin Akinniyi, after listening to the estranged couple advised them to reconcile and maintain peace, and adjourned the case until April 12 for judgment.
