A woman, Wuraola Surajudeen, has told an Area Court in Ilorin, Kwara State capital that she developed hatred for her husband, Surajudeen Iya-Onitasi just two weeks after their wedding.
She therefore pleaded with the court to end the marriage immediately because of “lack of love and affection.
“I was introduced to my present husband and we got along smoothly, but immediately after the marriage, I developed hatred for him.”
Wuraola Surajudeen told the court that she was once married before her wedding to Iya-Onitasi.
”I divorced my former husband due to pressure from my mother. My former husband became a religious fanatics after our marriage and my parents were against him.”
Responding, the two-week old husband narrated how his wife left the house without his consent, with an excuse that she was tired of the marriage.
He said that he tried on different occasions to consummate the union but she refused to allow him, so he let her be.
“I want her to pay back the N20,000 dowry I paid for her hand in marriage.”
The trial Judge, Hammed Ajumonbi ordered the petitioner to pay back the dowry and adjourned the case to December 4, for pronouncement of divorce.
