A housewife, Rofiat AbdulRofiu, has begged an Area Court in Ilorin to dissolve her marriage to Anafi AbdulLateef on grounds that he only shows affection to his three other wives .
”My husband has neglected me and shows love to my three co-wives and his seven children.
”I am no longer interested in the marriage,” she said.
Delivering judgment, the Judge, Mr Toyin Aluko, said that AbdulLateef, sent a release letter to the court, agreeing to the divorce application filed by his wife.
Aluko ordered AbdulRofiu to observe one month Iddah (waiting) period before she can remarry.
He also granted her custody of the two-year- old baby.
The judge ordered AbdulLateef to pay N20,000 monthly for the feeding of the child.
He also ordered that the father should be given reasonable time to see his child and be informed of anything pertaining to the baby.
The court directed the court clerk to serve AbdulLateef with a copy of the judgment.
