Five years after their traditional marriage and wedding in Aguata LGA of Anambra State, a man has sent his lovely wife away after a shocking confession. It was a sad end between a couple simply identified as Ogene and Rita after Rita confessed to Ogene that she could not bear him any child because her womb was damaged during an abortion she had when she was in secondary school in Onitsha.
The furious and heart-broken husband sent her parking for concealing such information from him years after their traditional and church wedding.
Ogene who is a trader at Head Bridge market in Onitsha and resides in Iyiowa Odekpe in Atani Local Government, started looking for medical solution when Rita did not get pregnant after years of their marriage, but to no avail.
After the failed medical solution, they decided to embark on spiritual solution which led Rita to meet a pastor to advised her to embark on fasting and prayers and ask God for forgiveness. The pastor told her that after the prayers she should go to her husband and confess and ask for forgiveness.
The pastor assured her that with the prayers, her husband would forgive her and would still take her as his wife. Based on the assurance of the pastor, after the fasting and prayers, Rita went to Ogene and narrated her sad story.
It was gathered that Rita confessed to Ogene that she got pregnant when she was in secondary school and to cover the shame, she secretly went for abortion, and that during the abortion, there was complication which affected her womb and damaged it.
She told him that after the abortion, she had not been able to conceive and she was afraid to tell him before they got married because she did not want to lose him. She pleaded for forgiveness and asked him to think and decide her fate in the marriage.
The embittered husband told her that there was nothing to think concerning their marriage since she concealed such serious information from him and subjected him to wasting huge sums of money on medical treatment.
He asked her to pack her things and leave his house. She left dejected because the advice by the pastor was counter-productive.
Ogene subsequently went to the Anglican Church marriage counsel in Awka and sought for the dissolution of the marriage and the church granted his request.
