A pregnant woman, Lauratu Abdullahi , 30 , has asked a Sharia Court at Magajin Gari in Kaduna State to dissolve her marriage because her husband has not been performing his sexual duties to her .

Lauratu also told the court that her husband, Yahya Tanko , was always assaulting her and was also not providing for her .

The mother of five told the court on Monday that Tanko had starved her of sex and food since the past four months .

“I want the court to dissolve our marriage because my husband does not love and care for me anymore. He beats me when he pleases , ’’ she told the court.

However , Tanko denied the allegations, saying that he still loved Lauratu , pointing out that the woman was carrying a four - month pregnancy .

“ I want to inform the court that my wife is four months pregnant; so her claim of being sexually starved is incorrect, ” said Tanko.

The Judge , Malam Musa Sa ’ ad , asked Lauratu if she was pregnant and the self -confessed sex- starved wife said she was , noting, however, that the romance that resulted to the pregnancy lasted for only one month.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the case has been adjourned until April 3 for the two parties to present their guardians and witnesses .
