A 41-year-old housewife, Okome Obasare, has pleaded with an Igando Customary Court in Lagos to terminate her marriage because her husband had starved her of sex for 3 years. She opened up on other things her husband did to her apart from the sex starvation.
The mother of 3 also accused her husband of bringing in a woman to the house. Explaining that her husband has barred her from entering the room, Mrs Okome said: “My husband is dating our church woman leader and he always brings her home to pass the night.
When he chased me out of his house in 2013, that very day the woman packed in.
After evicting me from the house, he told my children that I was dead that they will never see me again,’’ the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) quoted the estranged woman as saying.
“My husband always beat me with wire and on two occasions, I bleed and lost my pregnancy and after that, he gave me money for Dilation and Curettage.
He stops me from working and locks me inside the house and he will not allow me to go out, he beats me anytime he sees me outside or a visitor comes to visit me.” Saying she is no longer interested in her 14-year-old marriage which gave birth to 3 children, Mrs Okome urged the court to end the union with an order that her husband must always allow her access to the children.
But her 59-year-old civil servant husband denied the allegations. “My wife did not lose any pregnancy; she always gives birth to a baby anytime she is pregnant. My wife always disobeys my orders, she is disrespectful, she goes out at will and come back at will,” he said.
