She, however, lamented that Tahjudeen stopped performing his responsibility about seven years ago, and abandoned their matrimonial bed after she gave birth to their daughter.

“He does not even sleep in the same room nor touch me, and any time I ask for his attention, he tells me to leave his house whenever I am tired of the marriage,” she said.

Mariam pleaded with the court to dissolve the marriage, to enable her to remarry.

“My husband has been tormenting me with accusations of having extra marital affairs and yet did not touch me, which is affecting my state of mind,” she pleaded.

The husband, however, told the court that he had health challenges and had been trying hard to cure the illness that caused his inability to satisfy his wife.

He told the court that he was not willing to divorce his wife, saying he still loved her dearly and appreciated all her patience and perseverance.

The Presiding Judge, Mr Hammad Ajumonbi, said that sex was important in marriage and any case of starvation of any party should not be taken with levity.
