Can a wife sue for emotional abuse, without seeking divorce, when the husband cheats?

~Opatola Victor Esq.


Yes.
As a matter of fact, either of the couple can sue for emotional or psychological abuse caused by the infidelity of the other partner or when the other partner cheats or commits adultery.

While adultery is not a punishable offence in Southern part of Nigeria, yet, a partner can be held liable for emotional abuse of the other partner when he/she cheats.

This can even be achieved without the other party sueing for divorce.

�, the marriage becomes loveless , it’s either you leave or you manage him like that. Don’t sue and stay put.

So what happens next after she has sued her husband?? Will it make him stop cheating?? ....

My dear...
Just walk out of the marriage if you can't put up with such and live your remaining life in peace ....

And where do you get the idea that love is a requirement in marriage? It's originally a contract/agreement between a man and a woman. They decide if love is a part of the equation or not.

It may not put a stop to the cheating, but that could also mean more opportunities to continue to cash in.
