A housewife, Mariam Jimoh, has rejected a divorce suit instituted against her by her husband, Sunday Jimoh, on Monday, 21 July, at a Customary Court in Lagos.
Mariam was taken to court by her husband who is from Oyo State, seeking for the dissolution of their 10-year old marriage which has produced 2 children.
The mother of two insisted that her husband still loves her as they are still living together in the same apartment, sleeping together in the same bed and making love regularly as husband and wife.
In fact, she says, the man had sex with her first thing that Sunday “early morning” before they came to court for trial!
She wondered why Sunday would claim he was no more in love with her whereas they are planning to have another baby. She said, “where does he want me to go after two kids and the sacrifices I have made for 10 years to keep the relationship?”
She added that they started the relationship when she was in secondary school and they later got married without the consent of her parents.
She said the relationship produced two children, David, 6, and Simon, 4, despite the fact that she did not pay her bride price.
Mariam said she was surprised when she received court summons to appear before the court, adding that the summons did not stop them from living as couple.
Meanwhile, Sunday confirmed that they were still living together because of the children, saying he was tired of the marriage because her parents did not support it from inception.
However, the parents of the couple, who had never met each other since the couple got married, appeared in court, pleading with the judge to allow them step into the matter to resolve it out of court because of the children.
The dispute has been adjourned till 30 July, 2014 for report of settlement.
