16-Year Old Marriage Dissolved over Disregard for Parents-In-Law

By Correspondent

An Ibadan Customary Court on Monday, put an end to a 16-year-old marriage, between one Stephen Adejobi and his wife Seun over quarrelsomeness, anarchy and disregard for parents-in-law. The court, presided over by its president, Ademola Odunade, declared that there is no way the court could force any couple to continue in a relationship that was not beneficial to both. The Court said, “In the interest of tranquility and orderliness, the union between Adejobi and Seun has ceased to be henceforth.” Odunade also ordered that the three children should be in the custody of their mother, even as he directed Adejobi to pay N10, 000 monthly for the upkeep of the children in addition to catering for their education and welfare. It would be recalled that Adejobi had informed the Customary Court that his estranged wife had over time brought hardship to him through her quarrelsomeness, acts of anarchy and disregard for his parents. He said, “My lord, I have never had a settled home since I got married to Seun in the year 2000. “It had all along been one day, one trouble as I had never enjoyed any moment of peace of mind. “Seun keeps igniting every attitude or act that could bring anarchy into the home by engineering misunderstanding between me and members of my extended family. “As if those are not enough, my parents mean nothing to her as she takes them for a pinch of salt. In fact, Seun has taken it as a duty to be raining curses on me. Love is completely absent in this relationship, please, I need dissolution of this marriage. On her part, Seun, who could not deny any of the allegations, aligned with the request of her husband that the marriage be dissolved. In her words, “My lord, Adejobi has all along lived with me as a ghost because I cannot exactly say this is where he works. “He had always maintained a strange relationship with me. Let him go.”
