[size=14pt]My husband starves me of sex, woman, 58, tells court[/size]

Francis Falola, Abeokuta


A 58-year-old trader, Mrs. Ramota Ishola, on Thursday dragged her 71-year-old husband, Mufutau Ishola, before a Grade 1 Customary Court, sitting in Ake, Abeokuta, over an allegation of neglect and refusal to make love to her.








Ramota accused Mufutau of neglecting her, adding that they had been married for 20 years, but yet to have a child and that the last time her husband made love to her was about three years ago.

She said that she was tired of the union because of the neglect and lack of love and care. Besides, she said Mufutau did not allow her to move freely.

She described her husband as an irresponsible man, who would not perform his marital duties as expected of a responsible man, adding that she had married 10 different men before Mufutau, but none had given her much trouble like him.

"I have married 10 men before him because I was looking for a child; I had never been molested like this by any of them. I am tired of this relationship and feed up staying with him.

"If a man does not make love to his wife, how could he expect her to be pregnant?" Ramota told the court.

Mufutau, a retiree, dismissed the allegations made by his wife as mere excuses to get a divorce.

He said he had always been a responsible man to his wife and her family members, saying Ramota's mother could testify to that.

He said that he stopped making love to her six months ago when he noticed she was having an extra-marital affair.
