Man divorces wife of 13 years over sex starvation
“Whenever we had misunderstanding, my wife would deny me sex and food; and for the past six months now, she had not allowed me to make love to her, Mr Abiodun Balogun told an Igando Customary Court.
Balogun also accused his wife of always “accusing me of dating any wooman she saw in my car”.
“She once trailed me to a place, stopped my car, dragged out the woman inside my car and gave her the beating of her life.
“She also beat up one of our tenants whom she accused of having an illegal affair with me.
“Because of her behaviour, I ordered her to leave my house and when she refused, I packed out from the house,” he said.
He therefore urged the court to dissolve the marriage as the love he once had for his wife had faded.
His wife, Oluwabunmi Balogun, told the court her husband was a womaniser always running after anything in skirt.
She accused him of trying to rape their 12-year-old housekeeper.
“I also caught him and my friend’s younger sister coming out of a hotel,” she said.
She however claimed to still love him “despite his infidelity”.
But the court could not persuade Mr Balogun to reconsider.
“Since the petitioner insisted on divorce after several interventions, the court has no choice than to dissolve the union in spite of the fact that the wife still claims she loves her husband,” court president, Adegboyega Omilola.
“The court pronounces the marriage between Abiodun Balogun and Oluwabunmi Balogun dissolved today, both parties, henceforth, ceased to be husband and wife.
“Both are free to go their separate ways without any hindrances and molestation,” Omilola ruled..
