29 year old Perpetual Ezenwa, has asked the customary
court in Igando Lagos State to dissolve her four months old marriage to Charles Ezenwa, claiming the man started
beating her less than 4 days after paying her dowry.
Perpetual said she married Charles after dating him for less than 2 months and now seeks divorce over what the she tagged domestic violence.

She said, "we married after courting for less than 2 months. Before I married him, I've started noticing his behaviors but when I told my father he said I should not leave him that he would change after our marriage.
"I believed he said that because they are from the same village in Imo and being the first daughter of my parents, they want me to marry on time. But, he kept becoming worse and I've decided to leave after 4 months of our marriage. 4 days after the payment of my dowry and our traditional marriage, he started beating me on flimsy excuses. He beats me with turning sticks in one of those days all because I received a text message from a friend and the message only reads "good day madam, how's your weekend ". This was what Charles saw that day and he nearly killed me. Come to think of it, this same man that was beating me is having an affairs with a fiancée of one of
our neighbors. He did was caught on one of those days
and I got to know about it. I told my father of all the happenstance but he would only say I should endure it. When I couldn't bear it again, I've moved to my parent's house and I've asked Charles to come and get his dowry back according to our tradition so that I can marry another man but, he has refused to collect it saying he would allow me to suffer because he knew I can't marry another man unless he collect the dowry and that I would grow old in my father's house."

She now wants the court to force him to collect back his
dowry. Charles was not in court to say his side of the story,
so the Court's president, Adegboyega Omilola who sat over the case sent a court order to him and the case was
adjourned till February 8, 2016.

How much did he pay? Before i go talk

You met him less than 2 months before marriage, after 4 months of marriage you want divorce because he beats you. Sister you just scammed that man you dont love him, you put up a behaviour that will make him beat you so that you take that as an excuse... Bullshit!

Nigerians have been prisoner of culture/tradition for so long. Imagine,if that monster doesn't collect the dowry back,the girl in question won't be able to marry another man.


God punish tradition. Am waiting for a tradition that will stop me from doing what I want

And you are still with him Can't the dowry be refunded?

Modernised mark tyson...shebi he don pay ur family

The only justification for assaulting a woman physically is when she physically assaults you.

If she doesn't hit you and you hit her then she'd be a _fool not to scald your protruding forehead with a hot, rusted electric boiling ring!

Your dad told u to endure, like he is the one the man is getting married to

If he doesn't come and collect his money why not go and give him abi

if mountain refuse to go and meet Mohammed,Mohammed will go and meet mountain naw

you saw it coming and still went for it. I do tell girls that complain of their guy beating them to quit the relationship otherwise beating continues in marriage.

Dunno such thing still exists in this 21st century.

You saw the writings on the wall but you still went ahead to marry him because of his buoyant financial status.

You have married him and so I will advice you to be diligent to make your money.

If it's becoming unbearable, kindly take a break pls
