A 27-year-old woman, Mrs. Morufat Awinle, told an lgando Customary Court sitting in Lagos that after her husband, Musibau, stopped her from having more children, he insisted on having sex with her everyday.The mother of three however informed the court that whenever she refused to have sex with him, he would beat the hell out of her. She claimed that her husband lacked care for her and their children, adding that this forced her to relocate to her parents home. ”It was my mother that was responsible for the payment of the children’s school fees and other things”.
Morufat added that her husband sent their first born to his elder brother to avoid his responsibility of taking care of him, saying the brother could not take care of the child alongside his own children. But she pleaded that the court should not dissolve the marriage, because she still loved her husband.
