My wife is an unrepentant drunk, smoker – Man tells
court
- Posted by Gbooza! on September 3, 2015
A middle-aged man, Kunle Isalu, has
urged a Grade “C” Customary Court in Iseyin, Oyo State to dissolve his
10-year-old marriage to his wife, Lara, over allegations of drunkenness and
smoking.
He told the court on Wednesday that
the union, which had produced four children; ages eight, six, four and two,
started having problems when Lara started keeping bad friends.
“Lara has always been a very good wife
until of recent when she started keeping a bad company of friends.
“The first day I came home from a
month’s journey was when I first noticed that her mouth smelled of alcohol and
cigarette.
“She has since grown to be an
unrepentant smoker and drunk; she now drinks at will to the extent that they
know her in all the beer parlours in Iseyin here.
“She does not even have respect for
her marital status or the integrity of our children; the situation has forced
me to chase her out, but now I want the dissolution to be formalised.
“All our children are still with me
and I’m sure they don’t want to go with her. I really can’t explain what the
problem is.
“We have summoned various family
meetings to make her change, but all was to no avail.
“I want her to drop my name after
this dissolution, my lord,” he prayed.
The President of the court, Mr Raimi
Oyegbenle, decried the absence of the respondent in spite of series of court
summons.
He, however, ordered a fresh summon
to be served on Lara, compelling her to appear in court on the next adjourned
date.
Oyegbenle adjourned further hearing
on the matter till Sept. 14. (NAN)
