An Ilorin-based housewife, Rashidat Quadir, on Wednesday filed for divorce at an Area Court at Centre-Igboro in Ilorin.
The petitioner said the divorce was necessary after 11 years of being childless and allegedly suffering lack of love from her husband.
“My husband and his parents are frustrating me because I have no children. My man also no longer has trust in me.
“He always has issues with me each time I go out and he does not have trust in me any longer. He believes that anytime I go out, it is to visit another man.
“He therefore forces me to swear with the name of Almighty Allah and the holy Quran each time I go out, saying that I have gone to have affair with another man.
“He goes as far as inspecting my underwear pant to know if I had sex outside,” she said.
Mrs Quadir stated further that her mother-in-law had told her on many occasions to look for another man and stop wasting her youthful age in their family.
“So, that is why I packed out of the house three months ago after so much threat, frustration and pain.”
The respondent however said that he was still interested in the marriage, adding that he did not chase his wife out of the house.
“I just went to the office and returned home to meet her absence.
