CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

The 13-year old marriage between a couple simply known as Mr. Ayoro and his wife Betty seemed to have crashed after she refused to have sex with her husband who returned after five years stay abroad.

The mother of three had insisted that before she will have sex with her husband, he must undergo medical test to avoid infecting her with any deadly disease. She claimed that her husband had spent several years abroad and had engaged in sexual activities with other women over there and may likely have contacted a Sexual Transmitted Disease.

However, the husband felt insulted by the wife’s demand and insisted that she was his wife and should not have denied him sex for whatever reason. The incident which has been a subject of discussion started in Lagos where they resided but has now moved to their family in Umuchu town, Aguata Local Government in Anambra State.

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that the feud has threatened the marriage to the extent that both the husband and the wife had not shifted their positions and were almost ready to go their separate ways despite the fact that the marriage was blessed with children.

The embattled couple got married some years ago and had children before the husband travelled abroad for greener pastures. While Ayoro was abroad, he had invested in Nigeria through his wife before he came back. It was gathered that while he was over there, the wife knew that he had several relationships with women and may have returned home with an STD and so she demanded that Ayoro should undergo medical tests.

The joy of Ayoro’s return was short lived when he wanted to sleep with his wife and she refused insisting on medical tests to know his health status. The woman had reasoned that since her husband had spent such number of years abroad and engaged in sex with other ladies, she will not want to contact any disease from him.

P.M.EXPRESS confirmed that the embittered Ayoro who felt insulted and humiliated has now moved out of the family house to an unknown place where he operates from both in Lagos and their community at home.

It was gathered that the feud has divided the family members who waded into the matter to resolve it to no avail because of the sensitive nature of the issue. Some family members were said to have mandated the wife to obey and cooperate with her husband so that peace will reign, while others stood with the wife saying it was better for both of them to conduct medical tests in the best interest of the marriage and children.

When P.M.EXPRESS contacted the embattled wife, she confirmed that she had issues with the husband and blamed it on ignorance and lack of understanding as she said the matter would have been easily resolved without a third party.

It was gathered that the embattled  couple had insisted to go their separate ways if both cannot meet their different conditions. Sources said the wife knew that her husband was sleeping with women over there for money as such, she suspected he might have really contacted a sexually transmitted disease which might affect her if they have intercourse.
