A man identified as Oladimeji has told a Grade A Customary Court in Mapo, Ibadan, that his marriage to his wife, Bisola, has been a source of shame, regret, and emotional distress, as he petitioned the court to dissolve their union on the grounds of lack of affection, constant quarrels, and public embarrassment. According to a report by TRIBUNE, Oladimeji explained that the relationship had deteriorated over time, with his wife allegedly failing to show him love or the attention expected in a marital partnership.

He told the court that Bisola frequently engaged in arguments over trivial matters, often escalating into physical confrontations that disrupted the peace in their home. The plaintiff further complained that despite his financial responsibility towards their children, his wife continued to humiliate him by showing up at his workplace with the children to demand money.

This, he claimed, had caused him significant embarrassment and affected his reputation. According to him, the constant conflict and lack of cooperation from his wife had made the marriage unbearable. Oladimeji also revealed that while he had fulfilled cultural marital rites by paying her bride price, her family had returned it, which he viewed as symbolic of deeper marital issues.

In his submission, he appealed to the court to grant him custody of their children and to issue a restraining order preventing Bisola from threatening or interfering in his personal life following the dissolution of the marriage.

He said: “My wife and I started living together as husband and wife after we met and held an introduction ceremony. I paid her bride price but her father returned it to me. My marriage to my wife has brought me nothing but shame and regret. She is troublesome and is never tired of seeking faults in all that I do.”
