Mrs.
Simbiatu Oduntan, 69, a housewife from Lagos, told Orile Agege Customary Court
on Wednesday that her husband Alhaji Mustairu Oduntan, 84, wants to divorce her
as she had lost her urge for sex. She adds that she suggested that he takes
another wife.
Earlier,
Mr. Oduntan told the court that he was "tired" of their marriage, his
wife does not care for him, as she would not cook food, and "goes out and
comes back at will". On her part, the wife said she could not cook because
of health issues: her legs become swollen if she stands for too long.
The
Oduntans have been married for 45 years and have four children aged from 25 to
18. The woman, a trader, supports her husband's decision to end the marriage.
The
court president adviced the couple to maintain the peace, and adjourned the
case till May 15 for further judgment.
