A housewife, Amina Suleiman, has urged an Ilorin Area Court to dissolve her seven year old marriage because her husband cannot afford her underwears.
Testifying before the court, Sulaiman also said her husband, Ibrahim Babaoja has refused to take proper care of her and their family.
According to Sulaiman, she had been shouldering the responsibility of taking care of the family and it has become unbearable for her.
She said, “Our marriage is blessed with two children, but to eat in the house is a problem.
“He will not pay the children’s school fees; he cannot even afford to give me money for my underwear.
“There is always chaos in the house and I can no longer bear it or tolerate his attitude and lack of care.
“I pray the court to put an end to this marriage.”
Babaoja, was, however, not present in court to defend the allegations against him.
After listening to her testimony, the presiding judge, Mr Abdul Quadri, said Babaoja had earlier sent a letter, consenting to the dissolution of the marriage.
Consequently, the judge ordered the dissolution of the marriage on the ground that both parties had agreed to it.
