A woman who has become really fed up with the man she got marred to, has taken proactive steps to severe her ties with him.

A Badagry Customary Court in Lagos State on Friday dissolved a 17-year-old marriage between a housewife identified as Wulemot Agbaje and her husband Mukaila Agbaje over alleged “irresponsibility and adulterous habit” of the husband, NAN reports.

The petitioner who is a 35-year-old fashion designer had pleaded with the court to dissolve her marriage, alleging that Mukaila, her husband, was “irresponsible and a womanizer.”

Agbaje who lives at No 7, Seide Compound, Igbo-Orosun, Badagry, told the court that Mukaila was always avoiding responsibility for the children upkeep and school fees, NAN reports.

She said, “My lord, I have to add dry cleaning business to my fashion designing to enable me make ends meet.
“My husband always beat me anytime I complained about his adulterous habit.
“Mukaila flirted with different women in our matrimonial home, even when my daughter challenged him, he beat her up.”

However, Mukaila, 45, a driver, who resides at No. 46, back of MRS filling station, Ajara, Badagry, denied all the allegations leveled by Wulemot.

The President of the Court, Mr Sakirudeen Adekola, said that the marriage had collapsed completely and nothing could be done to revive it, adding that both parties were better left to continue their respective lives in peace.

The court also ordered that the four children of the marriage be granted to the petitioner who was their biological mother until adulthood when they can take their own decisions.

He said, “The court hereby dissolves the marriage between Wulemot and Mukaila such that they shall cease forthwith from being regarded as husband and wife from Nov.30.
