6yrs after Marriage, Husband gets Divorce over Wife's Adultery



A customary court in Ile-Ife, Osun State, on Thursday dissolved the six-year old marriage between Sunday Adelakun and his estranged wife, Rasidat, over her adulterous acts and gross arrogance.

The husband, had on November 2, urged the court to dissolve the union due to fornication, uncooperative attitude, pride and constant fighting.
The husband said: “My wife fornicates and never gives me rest since we got married. She has no courtesy neither respect for me and my family.

“I’m tired of her, there was a time her boyfriend attacked me. He would have killed me, if not for God, to the extent that I was hospitalised.
“If the divorce is delayed, she would eventually kill me and marry her concubine, the earlier the better for the safety of my life.”

He told the court that they got married in 2009 and the marriage was blessed with two children namely: Seyi Adelakun, 5, and Imole Adelakun, 11 months.

The President of the Court, Chief Abioye Olatunbosun, in his judgement, dissolved the marriage. He then awarded the custody of the two children to the defendant and advised that they should be taken to government hospital whenever any of them fell ill.

He asked the now former husband to be giving the former wife N3,000 monthly per child for upkeep.

The court advised both parties to give peace a chance.

- When a lady knows that ashawo is her business, why go into marriage? Just continue your 'business'.
