Abuja — A middle-aged man, Jacob Jackson, last Wednesday told an Abuja Upper Area Court to dissolve his marriage because of his wife's HIV positive status.

Jacob alleged in court that his wife engages in extra-marital affairs which led to pregnancy and the baby she is nursing presently."I discovered my wife's insincerity when HIV/AIDS screen was carried out on her when she was pregnant and the result was positive," he said.

He said after his wife's result, he went for the same test and tested negative, adding that he wonders where she got the disease.

In her response, his wife denied sleeping with any person outside marriage and linked the infection to a blood transfusion she underwent when she was ill.

She told the court that the HIV positive result surprised her but cannot prove her innocence.

The woman told the court to go ahead and grant her husband's petition since it was his wish.

Judge Issa Alhaji Yahaya granted the divorce and ordered that DNA test be carried out on their child when she reaches the age of seven years.

serinavagz: I am Nagalia Pendragon from Canada, after six years in marriage with my husband with 3 kids, he suddenly started going out with other women and coming home late, each time i confronted him it turns out to be a fight and he always treathened to divorce me at all time, my marriage was gradually coming to an end. i tried all i could to stop him from this unruly attitude but all proved abortive, until i saw a post in the forum about a spell caster who helps people cast spell on marriage and relationship problems, at first i doubted it but decided to give it a try, when i contacted this Spell caster Dr. Ikedi Ero via email, he helped me cast a spell and within 4 hours my husband came back apologizing for all he has done and promised never to do such again and today we are happily together again.
