An Ilorin, Kwara State-based women, Mujidat Adepoju, has claimed that her husband is so promiscuous that he has three children with three different women outside their marriage.
This was among theallegations she advanced before an Area Court in Centre-igboro, Ilorin, on Friday, dissolved the Islamic marriage between her and the husband, one Mr AbdulRasheed Ibrahim.
She also cited domestic violence.
Delivering judgement, the presiding Judge, Mr Idris Etsu, held that since the respondent has agreed with the dissolution, there is no need to delay proceedings.
Etsu, consequently, dissolved the Islamic marriage, but ordered that the petitioner should observe three months iddah (waiting) period before she could remarry.
The petitioner had earlier told the court that she was no longer interested in her marriage with her husband, following repeated violence, frequent threat of divorce, neglect, and infidelity.
“My husband always beat me, threatens me to leave his house whenever he is angry and travels for months without coming back home.
“He is so promiscuous that he has three children for three different women outside wedlock,” she said.
The petitioner said that their marriage is blessed with five children, adding that three of them are married.
She prayed that the other two children, aged. 18 and eight-year-old, be left with their father, so that there would be no reason for the respondent to visit her.
Meanwhile, in his response to the petitioner’s claim, the respondent assented to the divorce.
“She used to say that I like manipulating words; So, I am not saying anything, If she wants to go, she can go,” he said.
