A married man who has become fed up with his wife's really obnoxious habits, has taken a drastic step to end his misery.
An Ado-Ekiti Customary Court on Thursday
dissolved the 6-year-old marriage between Mr Fatai Badmus and his wife,
Sade, on grounds of adultery, lack of care and love for the children,
NAN reports.
Badmus, 35, an artisan, living at No.12,
Odo-Ado Street, along Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti, told the court
that the respondent was wayward and he could not tolerate her anymore.
He said that the respondent often leave
the house with the excuse that she was going to where she works as a
caterer and would not come home for two days, leaving her two children.
The father of two children said that the
respondent was fond of going to night clubs and parties with men,
without considering the welfare of her children at home. He told the
court that the respondent was also fond of wearing indecent dresses and
goes out with different men.
Badmus begged the court to dissolve the
marriage because he no longer love her. The petitioner’s parents, Alhaji
Suleiman Badmus and Mariam, who also testified, said that the
respondent is wayward and dresses indecently.
They both agreed to the dissolution of the union to enable the petitioner have peace of mind.
The respondent denied all the
allegations levelled against her. She said that she is not cheating on
her husband, adding that the petitioner was fond of nagging and checking
her phone on daily basis. The respondent opposed the dissolution of the
marriage.
Mrs Olayinka Akomolede, President of the
Court, after hearing from the parties, ruled that the marriage had
broken down irretrievably and consequently dissolved the union.
She ruled that the custody of the eldest
child of the marriage, Jamiu, 6, be awarded to the petitioner, while
the second child, Fawas,3, was given to the respondent. Akomolede
further ruled that the petitioner shall be paying N3,500 as monthly
feeding allowance for Fawas.
She ordered that when Fawas attains the age of six, the respondent should release him to his father.
The president ruled that the petitioner shall be responsible for the children’s education at all levels.
Unrestricted access was granted to both parties to visit the child not under their custody from 8a.m. to 6p.m.
