A Mapo Customary Court on Tuesday terminated the marriage contract between Iyabo Adebayo and the husband, Babatunde because of the lack of satisfaction in bed.
The wife, who filed the case for the divorce claimed the husband he is lazy in bed and she cannot longer endure the hurts on her feelings.
She said:
“My lord, I no longer have any feeling for Babatunde again; he is lazy in bed and he can no longer satisfy me sexually.
“For so long, I had been coping with his inability to withstand my sexual urge, but I can’t cope with this any longer.
“My husband is also unable to take care of the material needs of our children and me.
“To worsen the situation, he derives pleasure in beating me at the slightest provocation,”Iyabo said.
On the other hand, the respondent (husband) appealed the court not to end the marriage as he still has love for the wife.
Asking for another chance to improve in bed and please his wife, Babatunde said:
“My lord, please save my marriage, I still love my wife, I will turn a new leaf.
In spite of the marriage which has been 10 years, the husband further appealed for the leniency of the court on the ground of his old age which will make it quite hard for him to find another wife.
“I cannot afford to part ways with my wife now. I am already an old man; I can’t start looking for a new wife at my age”, he said.
President of the court, Mr. Ademola Odunade, however, said that the marriage was dissolved due to irreconcilable differences.
“The court tried to settle the matter between Iyabo and Babatunde, but there was no solution.
“Therefore, in the interest of peaceful coexistence, the union between Iyabo and Babatunde has been terminated.
“Iyabo shall take custody of the four children produced by the union.
“Babatunde shall pay a monthly feeding allowance of N10, 000 for the upkeep of the children in addition to being responsible for their education and other welfare needs,” he said.
