55-year-old Busari, a resident of 5, Osunnike Street, Alakuko, a Lagos suburb, Kazeem Busari, has prayed the Alakuko Customary Court to dissolve his 13-year-old marriage with his wife, Rasheedat, because “she is troublesome”.
According to Busari.....
“I married her solely because my first wife died and I felt my daughter needed motherly love. But since we got married, I have not known peace.
“She enjoys attacking me and my children. I have never gone on a successful business trip because I always receive distress calls from home.
“It is more than a year since I stopped sleeping with her because of her incessant fights. I have informed her relations about her behaviour. Since she can’t stand the sight of my children, I don’t
want her anymore.”
Rasheedat, 42, told the court that.....
“My husband barred me from working when we got married. His children virtually complain about everything I do in the house.”
“Even when I tend to correct my step-daughter, she wouldn’t listen. In fact, the last time I sent her on an errand, she slapped me. His children are mean.
“They regard me as a slave, not their father’s wife. I also don’t want the marriage anymore because of his children.”
The marriage, which was sealed under the Native and Customary Law, is blessed with a one-year-old child, Lateef.
The case has however been adjourned till November 27 for further hearing.
