An Ibadan, Oyo State-based trader has revealed how a prophet told her that she should not have more than one husband in her life.
She noted this on Thursday when her husband insisted that Chief Ademola Odunade, the President of a Mapo Customary Court in the Oyo State capital, should end their marriage.
The husband, Ayoade Aderiye, accused the woman, Femi Aderiye, of stubbornness just as he said she could not bear any child throughout the 14 years they had been married.
He also noted that she was disrespectful to him.
Mrs Aderiye, however, refuted the claim, urging the judge not to dissolve the marriage.
“My lord, a prophet told me that I must marry only one husband in my life.
“I am not a troublesome woman and there was never a time I had any misunderstanding with his relatives,’’ she said.
But Odunade said he had no other option than to dissolve the union, holding that the bond of love between Ayoade and Yemi had been irreparably damaged, hence the need for the marriage dissolution.
“In the interest of peaceful living, the union between Ayoade and Yemi has ceased to be,’’ the Arbitrator said.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, he, however, told the complainant (Ayoade) to pay N5,000 to the respondent to allow her to pack out her property.
Earlier, the petitioner, Ayoade, an engineer and a resident of Ayegun-Oleyo area in Ibadan, had expressed frustration over his wife’s inability to conceive despite all his effort at childbearing.
He told the court that Yemi’s inability to conceive had given him both physical and psychological trauma.
“When the problem of her childlessness got to its peak, Yemi suspected that I was responsible for her inability to conceive. So, she took me to a medical doctor for examination.
“However, we were both treated and given a drug, but Yemi still couldn’t conceive, probably due to some complicated health problems in her body.
“Soon after, I married another wife and gave birth.
“Ever since then, Yemi has resorted to nagging, disobedience, raining curses and constant fighting in the house.
“She is also stubborn and highly disrespectful to me, my relatives and friends,’’ Ayoade said.
Yemi , however, vehemently opposed the suit and denied all the allegations levelled against her.
Yemi, a trader, argued that that the vision revealed to her by the prophet, had compelled her to be inseparable from her husband.
