A civil engineer, Godwin Nwali, has approached an Igando Customary Court in Lagos, Lagos State, seeking that his marriage to his wife, Nsika be dissolved.
Godwin alleged that she is ill-tempered and denied him sex.
The plaintiff accused his wife of denying him sex.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Godwin also added that she watched pornography and was involved in extra-marital affairs.
“My wife does not care about me. She’s irresponsible and chats with different men on Facebook.
“I’ve also caught her watching pornography on her phone,” he said.
In her defense, the respondent, Nsika, a petty trader denied all the allegations.
“I am a responsible woman and wife. I take care of my home. I am not a nuisance as he alleges. I do not engage in extra-marital affairs. It is against our tradition in Akwa Ibom.
“I am not ill-tempered. My husband is the violent one. I am the one responsible for the feeding of the home and payment of our children’s school fees,” she said.
She stated that her husband lied that she denied him sex.
“When I gave birth to our child, I had a vaginal tear and I was advised to stay away from sex for some time.
“We were invited to the village to settle our differences but my husband refused to go. I am not against our union being dissolved. I am no longer interested in the marriage,” she said.
The court president, Mr Adeniyi Koledoye, adjourned the case.
