4 years old marriage dissolves because of wife's temper

An Ilorin Area Court on Wednesday dissolved a four-year-old marriage between Lawal Aliyu and Bashirat Lawal over the latter’s temper.

Aliyu, 44, a resident of Ganmo area, Ilorin, told the court that his wife was too aggressive and fond of reacting negatively to any minor issue.

“My wife gets easily provoked and transfers aggression to people around her every time,” he said.

He also told the court that his wife had fought with every member of his extended family and friends, scaring them from visiting the house.

According to the complainant, the marriage was contracted in 2010 and had yet to produce a child.

“My lord, I want an end to this marriage because I cannot contain her hot temper anymore,” he said.

The defendant did not object to the prayer of her husband, saying she was tired of her husband’s complaints everyday.

Bashirat prayed the court to grant the prayer of her husband without any claim.

The presiding Judge, Mr. Yusuf Abdulkareem, dissolved the marriage and issued a certificate of divorce to the plaintiff.
