Wife
Turns Husband to Punching Bag, As Husband Seeks Divorce.
An
Ibadan-based businessman, Oluwatosin Bakare has narrated his matrimonial
ordeal, to Ile-Tuntun Customary Court sitting in Mapo, Ibadan, disclosing that,
he has become a regular punching bag in the hand of his wife.
The
complainant who resides at Labo Owo, Dugbe area of Ibadan, Oyo State Capital,
said the wife is fond of beating him and prayed the court to dissolve his
seven-year-old union to his wife, Enitan.
Hear
him “my refusal to make a thorough research before I eventually got married to
Enitan is the reason behind my problem today. My lord, as soon as Enitan got
into my house, she began to act ‘strange’. She challenges my authority on most
issues’.
“I
have made efforts to correct her misbehaviour by informing our pastor, but
rather than turn a new leaf, Enitan’s attitude worsened, making the pastor’s
intervention ineffective. In October 2018, Enitan, on entering our bedroom,
gave me a deafening slap as she followed it up by bringing out a knife to stab
me. I, however, managed to escape unhurt’, he told the court.
“I
can’t count the number of times she had attacked and torn my clothes in the
church and at other public gatherings. Sometimes, if I leave the office late,
Enitan would challenge me and even beat me on getting home’.
“On
Nov.16, 2018 Enitan attacked me with a chisel in the church. I stopped
reporting her to her parents because they were obviously not interested in what
becomes of her. Since I married Enitan, seven years ago, she has not conceived.
And evidently, there is no more love between Enitan and I, so do separate us,”
he said.
The
wife who is the respondent, and a
Laboratory attendant, however, opposed the divorce, but was unable to deny most
of the allegations levelled against her, and insisted that her troubled husband was the best man to
be with.
“My
lord, our pastor is the problem in my marriage to Oluwatosin. The pastor has
convinced my husband to marry another woman from his church. I noticed a change in my husband since I had
a miscarriage. He refused to show any concern. He started coming home late and
also stopped performing his roles as husband,” she told the court.
The
President of the Court, Henry Agbaje, requested them to provide more evidence
to substantiate their claims, and adjourned the matter until April 4 and asked
them to produce their relatives.
