Wife Dumps Husband After She Got Impregnated By Another Man

P.M.EXPRESS reports that consequently, the Area Court at Centre-Igboro in Ilorin, Kwara State, dissolved the marriage and pronounced that the parties were no longer husband and wife.

However, the Presiding Judge,  Abdulkadir Ahmed, granted the petitioner’s prayer and ordered her to observe three months of Iddah period before remarrying in line with the Muslim law.

The Court however said that the children’s custody could not be granted to either of the two parties, stating that the children in question are adults and could decide where they want to stay.

Earlier, the petitioner told the Court that her father informed her that her husband said he was no longer interested in their marriage and wanted her to file for divorce.

She responded to her husband’s request positively, saying she was also tired of their relationship, but pleaded for their children’s custody.

The respondent agreed that they part ways, but insisted on having their children’s custody, saying that the petitioner had left his house for the past three years.

“She left my house and got married to another man, and even had a baby for the man.

Our first born, who is 23 years old, was impregnated while under their mother’s care.

I want our children’s custody because their mother failed in her responsibilities towards them,” he said.
