A 37_year_old woman, Linda Stephen, has filed for divorce at a kaduna Customary Court, citing her husband, Felix Stephen's excessive intimacy demands as the reason for her decision.
Linda, who resides in Ungwan Sunday, Kaduna, told the court that their six_ year marriage had become unbearable due to her husband's relentless requests for intimacy. She also accused him of physical assaulting her whenever she refused.
"I want this marriage to be dissolved because I can't cope with his excessive desires. He demands it too frequently, sometimes from midnight until early morning. Even when I cry, he refuses to stop," she told the court
She further revealed that she left their home three months ago, and despite pleas from his relatives to return, she had refused because they were unaware of what she was going through.
According to her, Felix loses control whenever he wants intimacy, and when she refuses, he beats her-even in front of their children.
In his defense, Felix told the court that he still loves his wife and does not want a divorce. He pleaded for another chance, promising to control his urges.
"I have taken my uncle and friends to her parents' house to beg her, but she refused to listen and walked out on us,"
he said.
He asked the court for more time to resolve their issues and reconcile with his wife.
presiding over the case, Judge John Dauda adjourned the matter until May 6 to allow for reconciliation efforts, urging both parties to maintain peace in the meantime.
