An Upper Area Court, Kubwa, Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has dissolved the11-year-old wedlock between a housewife, Oloyede Oyetola and her husband, Subiar Afolabi for lack of love.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the judge, Muhammad Wakili, dissolved their marriage according to Islamic Law, following Oyetola’s prayer for divorce on the grounds of lack of love.
Wakili also ordered Oyetola to observe “Iddah”, which is a-three month period of observation after the judgment before contracting another marriage.
Earlier, the petitioner told the court that she got married to Subair under Islamic law in 2013, and that their union produced two children.
She said both had been having marital issues for almost four years, adding that despite their family’s intervention, the situation had not changed.
“We have been separated for two years and I have been solely responsible for our children’s upkeep and education. I am the one paying their school fees,” she told the court.
She thus prayed the court to dissolve their union, stating that she did not love him anymore.
The respondent consented to the divorce.
