‘My wife doesn’t sleep with me’

The President, Mapo Customary Court, Ibadan, Oyo State, Chief Ademola Odunade, at the weekend dissolved a seven-year-old marriage on the grounds of sex-starvation. 

Odunade advised housewives to maintain their vows of fidelity because it was vital to trust in marriage.

Wahab, who lives at Olopo-Meta Estate, Ibadan, told the court his wife endangered his life with her extramarital relationships.

He said: “Tawakalitu has remained a source of frustration to me for two and a half years, denying me of sex.

“My efforts to change her attitude have yielded no result, as she has become a pain in my neck.

“Tawakalitu is adulterous. I have caught her many times.

“Worse still, she has been having grudges with my children from my first wife. She doesn’t want to see them, as she has not hidden her hatred for them.

“I no longer want to have anything to do with her. Please separate us.”

Tawakalitu agreed to the divorce. She did not deny the allegation of sexual starvation.
