A woman, Wuraola Surajudeen, has petitioned an Area Court in Ilorin to dissolve her marriage just two weeks after tying the knot with her husband, Surajudeen Iya-Onitasi.
In her plea to the court on Wednesday, Wuraola cited a lack of love and affection as the reasons for her decision.
She disclosed that this was her second marriage, having been previously married before her union with Iya-Onitasi.
”I divorced my former husband due to pressure from my mother.
“My former husband became a religious fanatic after our marriage and my parents were against him.
“I was introduced to my present husband and we got along smoothly, but immediately after the marriage, I developed hatred for him,”she said.
The defendant had informed the court that his wife left the house without his consent, saying that she was tired of the marriage.
He, however, said that he tried on different occasions to consummate the union but she refused to allow him, so he let her be.
The Presiding Judge, Hammed Ajumonbi ordered the petitioner to pay back the dowry.
Ajumonbi adjourned the case until December 4, for pronouncement of divorce.
