A wife has cried out for help before a court of law as she said marrying her husband has become a lifetime mistake she regrets.
A 38-year-old nurse, Victoria Adebayo, on Friday told an Orile
Agege Customary Court that her greatest mistake was her marriage to
Adebayo 14 years ago.
Victoria, who reside No 2, Shittu Street, Orile Agege, a suburb of
Lagos, urged the court to dissolve her marriage, citing battery and
theft.
"My lord, my marriage to Adebayo was the greatest mistake of my
life. My husband is a lazy man, he does not want to work and he steals
my money. He also drinks to stupor and does not go to church, he has a
hardened heart.
"I pay all the bills including the children school fees and
still he beats me at will. It Is better not to have a husband than
having one that is not functioning as a husband and still beat you, I
want a divorce,’’ the mother of two said.
The respondent, who resides at No 2, Anijilaje Street, Alfa Nla, Orile Agege, admitted to beating his wife.
"I beat her because of her disobedience and illegal abortions
for her patients in my house. I drink but not to stupor, I did not steal
her money, I only took N1,000 from her money when I wanted to go out.
"I still love my wife, I don’t want dissolution of our marriage,’’ Adebayo said.
The President of the court, Dr Kayode Whenu, told the couple to
maintain the peace, and adjourned the case till April 19 for further
hearing.
