A
Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan on Friday dissolved a 17-year-old marriage
between Rukayat and Rasaq Muniru, over disagreement on sexual intercourse.
The
President of the court, Mr Ademola Odunade, in his judgment, held that the
court dissolved the marriage because it considered the wellbeing of everyone
important .
“The
court had fulfilled the mandatory adjournments, but Muniru still refused to
show up which meant admission of guilt.
Meanwhile,
He ordered Muniru to pay a monthly feeding allowance of N6,000 as well as take
responsibility for the education of the children.
Speaking
with newsmen in Ibadan the Oyo state Chapel Rukayat had told the court that
Muniru was so shameless that he did not mind having sexual intercourse with her
in the presence of their grown up children.
“Muniru
rented a single face-to-face apartment room for me at Olunloyo Area of Ibadan
with four grown up children, boys and girls, because he has married another
wife.
“He
sees nothing wrong in having sexual intercourse with me in their very presence
as matured as they are, 15, 13 years of ages.
“Whenever,
the children saw us making love, I used to remind him of the negative
implications it might have on them, especially the need for another room for
them.
“Anytime
I refused him sex, he beats the hell out of me, injures me and tears my
clothes. On a number of occasions, I reported him to his parents but there was
no change.
Rukayat
said “Muniru does not cater for the children and does not even want to know whether
they are educated or not.
