The Oja Oba/Mapo court C Customary Court, Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State on Friday dissolved a 17-year-old marriage between one Adewole Bankole and Grace Bankole over alleged stubbornness, disregard and disobedience.
Adewole had prayed the court to separate him and his wife as she is a fighter and rubs shoulders with him at home.
He said, ”My lord, I pray the court to deliver me from the bondage I led myself into called marriage. I’ve known no peace or rest of mind since I entered into it 17 years ago.
“I’m married to a woman who is as stubborn as a goat. She insists on having her way always.
“My wife has no regard for me and disrespects me every time. She readily flouts my orders. I noticed she was moving with politicians at the grassroots level and warned her against joining politics but she disobeyed me and went into it fully.
“Any time I try to show my displeasure over an issue, she turns it into a fight. She will shout and humiliate me before our children and neighbours.
“My lord, my wife curses me any time we are having s*x and this reduces my libido. I’m fed up with her, please separate us.”
In his Judgement, the court president, Chief Ademola Odunade said he observed that Adewole’s love for his wife had waned.
According to him, the refusal of the defendant to show up in court after being served a court hearing twice, indicated she was no more interested in their union.
Ruling, Odunade dissolved their union and granted custody of their three children to the plaintiff.
He, however, ordered that a copy of the Judgement be served the defendant.
