For being an unrepentant drunkard and
smoker, a middle-aged man, Kunle Isalu, has urged a Grade “C” Customary
Court in Iseyin, Oyo state, to dissolve his 10-year-old marriage with
his wife.
According to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the wife, Lara, with whom he already has four children, developed the bad habits over the years, following her bad friends.
The children are eight, six, four and two respectively.
While explaining his ordeal, he said: “Lara has always been a very good wife until of recent when she started keeping a bad company of friends.
“The first day I came home from a month’s journey was when I first noticed that her mouth smelled of alcohol and cigarette.
“She has since grown to be an unrepentant smoker and drunk; she now drinks at will to the extent that they know her in all the beer parlours in Iseyin here.
“She does not even have respect for her marital status or the integrity of our children; the situation has forced me to chase her out, but now I want the dissolution to be formalised.
“All our children are still with me and I’m sure they don’t want to go with her. I really can’t explain what the problem is.
“We have summoned various family meetings to make her change, but all was to no avail.
“I want her to drop my name after this dissolution, my lord.”
The President of the court, Raimi Oyegbenle, while reacting to the appeal, expressed his displeasure with the woman’s absence in court, in spite of series of court summons.
After serving a fresh summon on Lara, compelling her to appear in court on the next adjourned date, he adjourned further hearing on the matter till September 14.
Meanwhile, a man who accused his wife of committing ‘social media’ adultery, asked a court to end their union.
