Woman Pleads With Court to End 20 Year Old Marriage | You won’t Believe why

Kafilat Olapade, appealed to an Agege Customary Court, to dissolve her 20-year-old marriage which produced no child due to her husband’s low sperm count.

Kafilat, 37, a food vendor, said she married her husband, Munirudeen, traditionally in 1996 and that she was aware that he had low sperm count.

“What made me stop loving him was when I found out that he had been sexually abusing my sister. I confronted him and he confessed but promised not to do it again. Anytime he left the house, he would drop N200 for feeding despite the economic hardship. When I complained he increased it to N1,400 per week. I noticed that anytime he returned home from work, he bought food in a nylon for himself alone. Now he does not even drop money to buy foodstuffs anymore while we split the electricity bill” Kafilat told the court

Punch reports that Kafilat found out that her husband had 3 children with another woman when they attended a burial ceremony in Osun state. She says she accepted it as her fate and packed out of his house last year. They both prayed for themselves and parted ways.

Munirudeen, 57, who is a commercial motorcyclist, denied all the allegations made against him. He said that since they got married, his wife got pregnant once, and suffered a miscarriage, since then they couldn’t have another child. He also denied having a sexual relationship with her sister.

“There is usually no electricity and the place I charge my phone in the house is where she slept. When I wanted to take my charger, my hand mistakenly touched her breast. I did not sexually abuse her,” Munirudeen said

He however acknowledged that he did have 3 children outside his marriage.

“I met the woman when I went to the village on visit. She looked beautiful and we spoke and one thing led to another, we had sex and she got pregnant afterwards. She has three children for me,” he said.

He pleaded that he still loved his wife and pleaded with the court not to end their union. The President of the court, Dr. S.O Whenu, adjourned the case till April 25, 2017 for judgment. He told the couple to keep the peace pending the outcome of the court proceedings
