A 72-year-old retiree, Mr Funsho Amos, has lost his marriage for starving his wife of sex for three years.
An Igando Customary Court, in Lagos, on Tuesday granted the request of Mrs Ayo Amos, seeking dissolution of her union to Funsho on the grounds of sex starvation and irreconcilable differences.
The court president, Mr Adeniyi Koledoye, while delivering the judgment, said it appeared that the estranged couple was tired of the marriage and all efforts to reconcile both parties had failed.
“The court hereby pronounces the marriage between Mrs Ayo Amos and Mr Funsho Amos dissolved today; both of you henceforth cease to be husband and wife.
“Each of you should go your separate ways unmolested, the court wishes both of you well in your future endeavours,”
It was gathered that the 40-year-old businesswoman, Ayo, had earlier approached the court to end her nine years old marriage over sex denial.
“My husband denied me sex for good three years without any reason and he knew that I needed a child,” Ayo said.
“He told me to get another man, that he is no longer interested in me.
“Funsho refused to pay our house and shop rents when both expired, and ordered the landlord to eject me from the house; which the landlord complied with.
“I begged him, even when my family members called him to know if I have offended him in any way, he told them that he was no more interested in me,”
“He said that no man can marry me again that any woman he had slept with can never get married again, so there is no need for him to divorce me,” she said.
Ayo urged the court to terminate their marriage which had not produced any child so that she can move on with her life.
“I have wasted nine-years with him without achieving anything, please divorce the union,”
“I pleaded with him to divorce me so that I can move on with my life because age is no longer on my side, but he refused.
“He said that no man can marry me again that any woman he had slept with can never get married again, so there is no need for him to divorce me,” she said.
Ayo urged the court to terminate their marriage which had not produced any child so that she can move on with her life.
“I have wasted nine-years with him without achieving anything, please divorce the union,” She pleaded
“I have six children, some are abroad. I do not even need a child from her,”
