Lagos, -  A middle-aged auto mechanic on Monday asked a Mushin Grade A Customary Court to dissolve his eight-year old marriage because his wife was allegedly fond of beating him up whenever they quarrelled.

“I have never seen such a troublesome woman like my wife; she hits me with all sorts of wooden and iron objects whenever we have a quarrel and has inflicted several injuries on me. I usually don’t retaliate when she hits me.

“Her actions have been threatening my life and I can’t wait till she kills me before I save myself.

“I am tired of the marriage and I want to put an end to it,” Ibrahim Salami pleaded with the court.

Salami also accused Keji, his petty trader wife, of being an unrepentant adulterous woman who was fond of dating other men in the neighbourhood.

“My wife is a wayward woman. I can no longer vouch for her fidelity. She is always hiding the children from me and forbids them from talking to me. I believe she wants to take them to the home of one of her numerous boyfriends.”

But Keji denied the allegations, claiming that it was her husband who dated one of her friends.

“I am a responsible and Godly woman. I am not adulterous. It was Ibrahim who dated my friend in spite of my pleas. He even bragged about his shameful acts. He plays all sorts of mockery music to infuriate me in the house.”

Keji said that the divorce suit filed by Salami was a way of evading his financial responsibilities as a father.

“He wants to divorce me so that he can abandon me and the children. He doesn’t want to take care of them. He has never really cared about their welfare.

She urged the court not to grant her husband’s divorce request, adding that she was still interested in making their marriage work.

The Court President, Mr Abayomi Ipaye, advised the couple that quarrels were inevitable in marriage since it involved two people with different perception and background.

“Both of you are from different backgrounds; you have diverse opinions on various issues, therefore, you will constantly disagree.

“Disagreements breed quarrels in marriage but they can be managed with maturity and a lot of patience.”

He called on the couple to exercise endurance and humility for long lasting and blissful marriage.

The court should have granted the divorce. What if the woman hits him on the head with a metal object and he dies? The guy should just move out. He is exercising restraint by not retaliating when she beats him and now the court if forcing him to stay with her. I can only hope he doesn’t come unglued some day and do something regrettable.

What is Nigeria turning into? Why are men so quick to abandon their wives? The man should approach his wife in a conciliatory way and beg her. Marriage isn't easy and the man should be able to tolerate occasional beatings from his wife.

Ole. lazy man. u're not ashame of ur self

Sign of end time.

Isn't this an old case?  I could have sworn I read exactly the same incident taken to the same customary court a few months ago.  Maybe it was continued.  In any case, I believe the man is about 15 or 20 years older than the wife and in ill health, so she had an advantage to pummeling the poor guy.  He also says she brings other men to the house. 

They need to separate before she kills him.

He is a fool diz is a disgrace 2 manhood."my wife beats me everytime".c im big mouth make im no go take care of im children.

Chai ! This woman must have black belt in karatey & taquando . Oga abeg sorry God dey!

A house devoid of christ will b full of crises

Not everyman can be stronger than the wife, the guy should just leave if he can not condole her beatings.

who's lieing amongst the two couples now?

Yoruba women are promiscuous no doubt. This is not a news. Man go for the divorce and go marry from other tribe.

That is what you hear when marriage union is no more rosy and sweet.

The women activist would say, the man must have done something to make the woman start beating him

Hahahaha, you no well at all oo.

“I have never seen such a troublesome woman like my wife; she hits me with all sorts of wooden and iron objects whenever we have a quarrel and has inflicted several injuries on me. I usually don’t retaliate when she hits me.

See his mouth. So she is no more the sugar in your tea and  the cockroach in your cupboard like before?

It is high time our youth understand that it takes more than just love lust to have a good marriage.

What God has joined together, let no man put asunder. That is if God initially joined it.

Should I tell your sorry or ntoor, infact telling you sorry will be like am the one beating you just take this, is a pity.
