A wife has begged an Orile-Agege Customary Court to dissolve their marriage because her husband constantly rapes and beat her. She wants the 10-year-old marriage to be dissolved.

The 32-year-old woman identified as Mrs Temitope Salaudeen, 32, a trader, who resides at 2, CAC St., Agege, a suburb of Lagos, begged the court to stop her husband before he kills her with the act. She revealed to the court that the husband is a wife-beater and treats her like a slave.

“My husband rapes me anytime he feels like having sex and does not care about my feelings or my emotions.

“He sold some of my jewelries without my consent and steals my money at will,” she added.

Temitope said that the greatest mistake she had made in life was getting married to her husband Alilu Saludeen.

“I ran away from the house sometime in November 2015 with my children because if I continue living with him, he might beat me to death one day,” she said.

The mother of two, aged 3 and 6 years, pleaded with the court to dissolve the union and grant her custody of her children.

But her husband identified as Alilu Saludeen 39, a building contractor, denied all the allegations. “I have not beaten her before, she starved me of s*x for one and half years despite the fact that we were living in the same house.

“She hides her phone from me and I did not sell her jewelries neither did I steal her money,” he said.

He begged the court not to grant her wife's pleas as he is still in love with her.

The Court President, Dr Kayode When told the couple to maintain the peace and adjourned the case till Feb. 23 for further hearing.
