He forces me to swear with the Almighty Allah and the Holy Quran each time I go out…as far as inspecting my pants to know if I had s*x outside.”
A housewife in Kwara State, Rashidat Quadir, has filed for divorce in an area court at the Centre-Igboro in Ilorin, Kwara State.
She alleged that after 11 years of marriage she has been childless and suffering lack of love from her husband.
She said, “My husband and his parents are frustrating me because I have no children. My man also no longer has trust in me. He always has issues with me each time I go out and he does not have trust in me any longer.
“He believes that anytime I go out, it is to visit another man. He, therefore, forces me to swear with the Almighty Allah and the Holy Quran each time I go out, saying that I have gone to have an affair with another man. He goes as far as inspecting my pants to know if I had s*x outside.”
Mrs Quadir stated further that her mother-in-law told her on many occasions to look for another man and stop wasting her youthful age in their family.
The respondent, however, said that he was still interested in the marriage, adding that he did not chase his wife out of the house.
The respondent also said that he tried to settle the issue by going to visit his in-laws, adding that they asked him to be patient with her and that she would return home.
The Judge, Shehu Ajimobi, granted the respondent time to enable him settle with his wife, and advised him to do everything necessary to get his wife back, while also appealing to her to be patient as well, and adjourned to November 6.
