A 35-year-old man, Mr. Yinka Alabi, on Friday pleaded with an Idi-Ogungun Customary Court, Agodi, Ibadan, Oyo State, not to dissolve his marriage in spite of his wife admitting to being raped by another man.<\/p>\n
In his defence to a divorce suit filed by his wife, Funmilola, he told the court that the woman claimed to have been raped in her office, but that he still loved her.<\/p>\n
Yinka said, \u201cMy wife\u2019s adulterous ways are terrible. She was in the habit of receiving her boyfriends\u2019 calls in my presence, but my ill-health condition makes me to accept all her shortcomings.<\/p>\n
\u201dMy lord, I urinate through the use of catheter and my wife knows what am passing through. I paid her upfront before allowing me to have sex with her, but I am not bothered because I love her and do not agree with the dissolution of our 10-year-old marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier, Funmilola, 31, had urged the court to grant her divorce request, alleging constant brutality on her by the husband, The News Agency of Nigeria reports.<\/p>\n
According to her, Yinka is always suspicious that I engage in extra-marital affairs.<\/p>\n
\u201dHe has no regard for my parents, so I can no longer endure his nagging and brutality,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
In his ruling, President of the court, Chief Mukaila Balogun, urged the parties to resolve the issue for the sake of the only child of the marriage.<\/p>\n
Balogun advised the respondent to find means of reconciling with his wife since he did not want the marriage to end.<\/p>\n
He adjourned the case until August 31 for report of settlement or continuation of hearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
