See Why 60-Year-Old Man Filed For Divorce After 30 Years of Marriage

Mr Sarafa Hassan, 60, a welder, reportedly filed a suit for the dissolution of his 30-year-old marriage before an Igando Customary Court, allegedly that his wife, Waliat, was always threatening to kill him. He told the court,

“I received the tip off from a reliable source, warning me not to go home that my wife had set a trap for me to paralyse me, and a few minutes later, my wife called me several times to come home but I refused.
She always hit me with dangerous weapons; she vowed to terminate my life and because of her threats, I ran away from the house I built and started sleeping in my shop. I have severally reported her to her family who always begged me to exercise patience that she will change but she never did.”

According to the Vanguard, he added that when he could no longer bear the situation, he married another woman to love and care for him, but she also began threatening his new wife. “She always calls my new wife to tell her that she will become a widow soon,’’ he alleged.

He also accused his wife of infidelity, alleging that she was having an affair with a landlord living on their street. The husband described his wife as a thief that she was always stealing from him. His wife, a 49-year-old trader, however denied all the allegations, saying, “How will I attempt to kill the father of my children? I can’t do that because it is my children that will suffer.”

The court on Tuesday intervened and saved their marriage following series of counselling sessions.
