DIVORCE COURT:Court dissolves 6-yr-old marriage over childlessness





An Ilorin Area Court in Kwara State has dissolved the six-year-old marriage between one Aminat Toheeb and her husband, Ismaila, over childlessness.

Thirty-year-old Aminat,  a resident of  Tanke area, Ilorin, Kwara State capital, had earlier prayed the court to dissolve her marriage to Ismaila since the union had not produced any child.
The plaintiff told the court that her husband  did not  show  any concern towards their predicament, but rather engaged in extra-marital affairs while he kept blaming  her for their  challenge.
 “My husband did not encourage me as was expected of him. He instead found fault in all I did,” she said.

According to her, their marriage was contracted in 2007 and was yet to produce a child.
“My Lord, I want an end to this marriage because I can’t  continue to stay in a marriage that has brought forth no child,” Aminat added.
The defendant, who did not object to the prayer of his wife,  said she was free to go.
