Wife seeks dissolution of one-year-old marriage
A Kwara State- based wife, Kafilat AbdulLateef, on Tuesday asked the Area Court, Centre-Igboro, Ilorin, to divorce her one-year-old marriage to Bukoye Abdullateef.
The woman of 101, Abisam Area, Offa Local Government Area of the state, told the court that she was no longer interested in the marriage, due to lack of love and care.
She, therefore, wants divorce, custody of the only child in the marriage and monthly support fees of N50,000.
The husband, however, said that he was still interested in the marriage and didn’t want divorce.
The presiding Judge, Toyin Aluko, noted that “It is always disturbing whenever young couples that are new in marriage apply 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 a report of settlement.
