Wuraola Adekunle had sued her husband, Rufai, at the Idi-Ogungun Customary Court, Agodi, Ibadan, on Tuesday, asking for the dissolution of their 15-year marriage.
The petitioner told the court that her 78-year-old husband was in the habit of threatening her whenever she demanded money. Wuraola also said she shouldered the responsibility of school fees, feeding and other needs of the children alone.
In his judgment, the President of the court, Mukaila Balogun, said the evidence of both parties before the court had proved that the union lacked love and care. Balogun said the court could no longer play a reconciliatory role for settlement of the rift since both parties had agreed to part ways.
He dissolved the marriage and ordered that the three kids of the marriage be in the custody of the respondent “as agreed by the couple. ”The respondent did not object to the dissolution, but denied the allegation of negligence. He urged the court to allow the children to be in his custody so that he could effectively take care of them.

Those that marry because of money and tell you that "age is just a number"; isn't it same money that caused the rift?
ReplyDeleteThe lady won't tell us about the activities in the other room and who is activating her presently; will she?
Neglect and not negligence, Negligence is a tort and has a completely different meaning from what’s been narrated here.
