A
sex-starved housewife, Sherifat Asimiyu, on Friday approached an Ibadan
Customary Court sitting in Agodi to dissolve her 10-year-old marriage with Mr
Saheed
Asimiyu.
Sherifat
told the court that apart from starving her of sex, Saheed was also in the
habit of beating and biting her whenever they have domestic quarrels.
The
complainant said she could no longer cope without sex, as her husband had not
slept with her in the last six months.
She said,
“There is no
doubt about his ability to provide food, money and other material things for me
and the two children of the union but I am not satisfied with all these without
sex.
“He
abandoned me deliberately, I cannot take it anymore because I am still young
and I see no reason for his action.
“To make the
issue worst, he was in the habit of beating and biting me whenever we have
misunderstanding over minor issues.”
The husband,
who is a motor spare parts dealer, admitted that he had starved his wife of
sex, as he was on “sex strike” in the last one month, to punish the woman for
her bad character.
According to
him, his action is to punish the complainant and make her to turn a new leaf.
The husband
told the court that he had warned her several times to stop associating with
bad friends, but had ignored him.
Saheed also
told the court that he would not prevent his wife from getting the divorce she
asked for, “if that is what will make her satisfied”.
Chief
Mukaila Balogun, the president of the court upheld the prayer of the woman and
approved the dissolution of the marriage.
The judge
ordered the defendant to be paying N6,000 to Sherifat as monthly allowance for
the upkeep of their two children.
