Wasiu Yusuf, a resident of Edun area of Ilorin, on Tuesday told an Ilorin Area Court that his wife, Aminat, talks too much and wants his marriage to her dissolved on this ground.

The 37-year-old man, who prayed the court to dissolve the four-year-old marriage, said:

“My wife reveals all our family affairs to her friends, colleagues and business associates due to her talkative nature.’’

The petitioner told the court that his wife could not keep the family secret away from the public.

According to him, their marriage was contracted in 2009 and had produced one male child, Wahab.

“My Lord, I want an end to this marriage because I cannot tolerate her talkative habit anymore,” said the complainant.

The defendant, however, objected to the divorce prayer on the grounds that she was still interested in the marriage.

“My lord, I promise to remain mute on my family issue for the sake of my marriage,” she said.

Aminat prayed the court for an adjournment to enable her to make reconciliatory moves.

The presiding judge, Ibrahim Abdulquadri, adjourned the case to Nov. 7 for possible amicable settlement between the parties or continuation of hearing. (NAN)
