Court dissolves marriage over wife’s stealing habit

An Ado-Ekiti Customary Court, Ekiti, on Wednesday dissolved an eight-year-old marriage between Mr. Tajudeen Owolabi and his wife, Idayat, over the latter’s alleged stealing habit.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the husband cited threats to life, ill treatment, cursing and disrespect as other reasons for the divorce.

Tajudeen, 35, of Balota Street in Odo-Ado, Ado-Ekiti, told the court that his wife’s bad habits had left him restless.

“She is fond of stealing my money and will not allow my business to grow,” he claimed.

The father of two also alleged that his wife hardly prepare food on time and would not wash his clothes.

“She is fond of saying that my business will go down (crash) and that I will see paper and call it money.

“Each time I reported my wife to her parents, the mother was always supporting her daughter. But the father was not like dat.”

The petitioner alleged that the wife once stormed his house in company of her family members and “disorganised” everything on sight, after pulling off the compound’s burglary proof.

He, therefore, prayed the court to dissolve the marriage.

But the respondent, Idayat, 28, a resident of Omi Olori in Odo-Ado, denied stealing her husband’s money.
