She further urged the court to restrain him from coming to her place or shop to fight her.
“I have given birth to five children in our 10 years of marriage, but only one is alive today as a result of my husband’s negligence and uncaring attitude.
“He used to abandon me any time I was pregnant and leave me to fend for myself and buy the baby’s needs.
“No matter how advanced the pregnancy was, my husband would still beat me and sometimes hit me with objects within his reach.
“He considers me as part of the furniture in the house and a tool with which he can satisfy his sexual urge.
“He shows no affection towards me and there is no intimacy between us.
“I’m tired of such a relationship and desire a release from the bondage I am in.
“I pray the court to set me free so that I can start life afresh, “the plaintiff stated.
