Grade A Customary Court, Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State, has heard the divorce suit brought before it by a woman, Deborah, against her husband, Olugbenga, whom she accused of irresponsibility and battery.
Deborah stated that Olugbenga placed no worth on her as his wife.
She said that her husband neglected her welfare and that of their only child and left them to suffer.
The defendant always sought every opportunity to beat her, she alleged.
According to the plaintiff, the defendant was in the habit of tearing off her clothes and leaving her stark naked any time they fought.
Deborah thus prayed the court to dissolve their union.
She further pleaded for their child’s custody but entreated the court to mandate her husband to be responsible for his upkeep, giving feeding, education and healthcare priority.
Deborah, in her evidence, said: “I started living with my husband shortly after we met. We did carry out the marital rites but he did not pay my bride price.
“My husband started displaying acts of irresponsibility immediately we started living together.
“He refused to carry out his duty as breadwinner and left me to starve.
“Issues in the home became worse when we had our child.
“He neglected both our child and me, and passed the bulk of his responsibility to me.
“He never ceased to beat me.
“He always found faults in all that I did and would beat me blue and black.
“He did not stop at this; he would also tear my clothes to shreds, thus leaving me stark naked.
“I walked out of our marriage when I could no longer put up with his maltreatment of me.
“He has since refused that I have rest of mind. He is insisting on collecting our three-year-old child from me.
“My lord, I pray that our union be dissolved and our child’s custody granted me.
“I further entreat the court to order my husband to be responsible for our child’s upkeep, giving feeding, education and medical care a priority.
The court president, Mrs S.M. Akintayo, adjourned the case.
