Wife seeks end to 1-year-old marriage

A housewife, Kafilat AbdulLateef, has asked an Area Court in Centre-Igboro, Ilorin, Kwara State, to dissolve her one-year-old marriage to Bukoye Abdullateef.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Kafilat told the court that she was no longer interested in their marriage due to lack of love and care.

She also asked for the custody of the only child of the marriage and a monthly support fee of N50,000.

The husband, however, said that he was still interested in the marriage and did not want divorce.

The presiding judge, Toyin Aluko, after listening to both parties, said it was disturbing that young couples keep asking for divorce.

Aluko urged the two parties to tolerate each other and try to live together in peace.

The court adjourned the case until January 14, for report on possible settlement.
