I’m Tired Of Begging My Husband For S*x – Woman Tells Court

CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

The 16-year old marriage between Mrs. Dorcas Ali and her husband, Wole, may soon end after the wifeq expressed being tired of begging her husband for sex in their matrimonial home in Lagos State.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the embittered Dorcas has filed a suit before the Igando Customary Court in Lagos to end her marriage because of the conduct of her husband.

Mrs. Dorcas has told the Court that apart from the fact her husband has been denying her sex for six years and bringing women into their matrimonial home, he was equally fond of threatening her life.

“Whenever I go for vigil in Church, my husband brings different women home to pass the night. I have caught him several times,’’ the 48-year old tailor told the Court.

“Wole turns me into a punching bag; always beats me to stupor and leaving me with injuries and scars.There was a day he wanted to bathe me with petrol to set me ablaze but I managed to escape,’’ she stated.

Mrs. Dorcas also told the Court that her husband wanted to take over the house she built singlehandedly.

“When I wanted to buy the land, I took him along because I am an illiterate; only my name was written on the document.But when I later stumbled on the document, I discovered that my husband’s name was added; it is obvious he went behind me to add his name,’’ she said.
The petitioner said that her estranged husband had been denying her intercourse since 2015.
“I always beg him to have intercourse with me so that I could get pregnant but he was always reluctant or sometimes he pushes me away; he eventually stopped sleeping with me six years ago because he has a woman, who bore him children. He makes no effort to make me have a child; he is only after my property,’’ Dorcas also said.

She also said she took a N300,000 loan to enable her husband to buy a car, but that Mr. Ali paid back only N50,000 and did not pay the balance and was stealing her money. Dorcas implored the Court to end the marriage since she no longer loves her husband.

“I don’t love him anymore, he should leave my house for me; if I don’t have a child, he should let me have peace,’’ she said.

In his response, Mr. Wole denied all the allegations and said he was desirous of a child or children for his wife.
“I want her to have a child, I follow her to different hospitals for tests,’’ he said.

The 59-year old driver said that he had never laid his hands on Dorcas since he got married to her and that the house in question belonged to him without a single kobo contributed by his wife,Ali said he slept with his wife last in August 2020 and not 2015 as she claimed.
He accused his father-in-law, who was present in Court, as the cause of their problems.

“My wife’s father is diabolical; he is the one behind my predicament; since I got married to his daughter, he has been waging war against me.”
“He just wants to ruin my life; attacking me physically and spiritually; many evil things befell me; he eventually crumbled my business.” 
“It was also revealed to me where I went to seek spiritual solution that my father-in-law is the one behind my wife’s childlessness,’’ he charged.

He also told the Court that contrary to Dorcas’ claim, he paid back the N300,000 she borrowed on his behalf fully.

The Court President, Mr. Adeniyi Koledoye, urged the couple to maintain peace and adjourned the case to 28th October, 2021, for judgment.
