Court dissolves childless Marriage as husband goes on Adultery Rampage

An Igando Customary Court in Lagos State has saved a childless six-year-old marriage between Mr Sodiq Oseni and his wife, Kemi, by rejecting a plea for its dissolution.

The husband and wife, who had expected a dissolution of the marriage, got a ‘pleasant surprise’ when the prayer sought was not granted.

 President of the court, Mr R.I. Adeyeri, reconciled the couple instead of dissolving the union after series of counselling.

While striking out the case, Adeyeri admonished the couple to maintain peace always.

The petitioner, Kemi, 47, a teacher, had filed a suit on August 5 seeking the dissolution of her six-year-old marriage, citing adultery.

She said her husband, Sodiq, was taking advantage of her childlessness to befriend several women.

“My husband has been bringing his girlfriends to our matrimonial home even to spend the night just because of my childlessness,” she said.
