An Ilorin Area Court on Thursday dissolved a three-year old marriage between Kafayat Jimoh and Jimoh Fatahi for childlessness in their marriage.

Kafayat, 39, a resident of Okelele area, Ilorin, had earlier prayed the court to dissolve her marriage to Jimoh Fatahi, for lack of issue.

The petitioner told the court that her husband was too harsh and fond of placing curses on her, emphasising on her inability to bear children.

“My husband always blamed me for the cause of our childless situation and at times shouted at me in the public,” she said.

She said their marriage was contracted in 2010 and was yet to produce any child.

“My lord, I want an end to this marriage because my husband has made life so difficult for me to bear,” the complainant said.

The defendant did not object to the prayer, saying she was free to go and please herself.

“My wife wayward life style has forced me not to have any pity for her situation,” he said.

He prayed the court to grant the prayer of his wife without any claim.

The presiding Judge, Mr Ibrahim Abdulquadri, dissolved the marriage and issued a certificate of divorce to the plaintiff. (NAN)
