A housewife, Mrs Lynda Ogedazi, on Tuesday prayed an Ikorodu Customary Court in Lagos State to dissolve the marriage between her and her husband, Uzor Ogedazi.<\/p>\n

\n

She said that this was on the grounds of threat to life and constant beating.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy lord, there is no more love in our marriage. I want a divorce.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe constantly beats me and he is always threatening me to move out from my marriage of eight years.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe comes home very late at night.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he calls me to open the door and I ask why he was late and where he was coming from, it will result into serious beating.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want the court to dissolve our marriage.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Lynda also said that since she gave birth to her second child nine months ago, her husband had not made love to her.<\/p>

She alleged that he was involving himself in extramarital affairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want the court to grant me the custody of my two children because my husband is not a responsible man,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

Lynda, 27, told the court that due to constant beatings from her husband, she had to pack out of her matrimonial home.<\/p>\n

She added that she consulted with her parents to refund the bride price her husband paid to them during their traditional wedding.<\/p>\n

However, Uzor, 42, in his response denied some of the allegations made by his wife and urged the court to dissolve their marriage.<\/p>\n

Ogedazi, who is self-employed and resides in Lawanson area of Surulere, a suburb of Lagos, told the court that he was not against the divorce requested by his wife.<\/p>\n

The president of the court, Mr Otun Olayiwola, after listening to the two parties adjourned the case until Dec. 11, for a mention. (NAN)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
