Woman, 35, confesses to falling ill due to sex starvation, seeks dissolution of marriage
A 35-year-old businesswoman, Bilikisu Azeez seeks the dissolution of her marriage over lack of sex.
While lamenting her frustration, Bilikisu told an Igando Customary Court in Lagos that her husband, Olushesi, has been starving her of sex for the past two years, making her fall ill frequently.
Maintaining that the lack of sex in her marriage has been making her fall ill, she said her husband has refused to have sex with her since he married another wife.
“My husband has been starving me of sex. Since he married his youngest wife, he has turned me into an abandoned property.
“I have been falling sick, in and out of hospital.In my last visit to the hospital, I was told that my frequent sickness was because I have not had sex for long.
She added that trouble started since the day her husband brought in the third wife.
“There was joy, love and peace in the house when it was only I, my husband, his first wife, and the children.
“The new wife always fights me and curses my child.”
Olushesi in his response, didn’t deny starving his wife sex. He blamed the lack of sex in their union on Bilikisu, saying she is the architect of her problem.
According to the respondent, his wife was the one that started denying him sex and he had to let her be.
“Yes, I starved her of sex. It is tit-for-tat. There was a day I entered her room to sleep with her, she left the bed to sleep on the floor.
“I made an attempt eight times to sleep with her, but she refused. Since that day, I just put her aside, after all she is not the only wife I have,” Olushesi said.
