The 25-year old marriage between a lady, Ramat Ibrahim and her estranged husband, Ibrahim Ayinla, has finally collapsed over purported lack of love between the two parties in Kware State.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the Presiding Judge, Hammad Ajumonbi, noted that the statement by the petitioner, Ramat, indicated that all efforts to reconcile the couple had failed and consequently dissolved the marriage that produced adults.
The troubled marriage was conducted in the Islamic religion way before the petitioner filed a suit at the Area Court in Centre-Igboro, Ilorin, which eventually dissolved the marriage.
The Court stated that the first and second children were adults and as such, had the right to choose who they wanted to live with.
The judge also directed the respondent to take full responsibility for the children’s feeding, school fees, and medical expenses, to the best of his ability and ordered that the petitioner be allowed to pack all her belongings.
The petitioner had earlier informed the Court that she was scared of going to the respondent’s house, alleging that he was fetish and impartial with his co-wife, hence her insistence on divorce.
An embattled Ramat however, told the Court that she did not have a job and no visible means of livelihood to cater for the children. She therefore, requested that the children remain with the respondent for now.
The respondent told the Court that he agreed with the petitioner’s decision on divorce and did not want to ever see her in his house again to avoid further allegations.
