Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan on Friday dissolved a 12-year-old marriage between Itunun Osin and estranged husband, Kehinde over his refusal to get a job and cater for his children.

In a petition, Osin, a hairdresser prayed the court for a divorce on grounds that Kehinde was a lazy and irresponsible husband.

Delivering judgment, Chief Ademola Odunade, the President of the court held that the marriage between Osin and Kehinde was dissolved because they failed they give peace a chance.

Odunade awarded custody of the two children to Osin and ordered Kehinde to pay N10,000 as monthly allowance.

The arbitrator also ordered Kehinde to pay N20,000 as compensation for damaging Osin’s phone.

Earlier in the petition, Osin alleged that Kehinde was lazy. ”He refused to get a job. I got him a loan from a micro-finance bank to start a business but he squandered the money and refused to help me pay the debt.

“My lord, Kehinde beats me. He maliciously destroyed the new expensive mobile phone I bought before I abandoned his home in November 2019,” Itunun said.

The respondent consented to the suit and gave reasons for his actions. Kehinde, a commercial motorcyclist, however, argued that his wife was a bad example of a woman.

”She is adulterous. I destroyed her mobile phone because she calls her lovers in my presence,” he said.

A commercial motorcyclist, yet you said he don't have a job?

Marriage already programmed to fail from the beginning.

He's lazy and she's adulterous. Divorce is the best way to go.

They've been separated since 11/2019.

She has tried, attempting to help him start a business,
and likely providing for the kids by herself.

No woman should put up with a lazy, violent man.

May they find their peace elsewhere.

He refused to get a job or he couldn't get a job?? If it the former, then... (Im lost ofwhat to say) but if its the latter, then the court was wrong in dissolving the marriage as anything can happen in no distant time. The wife too should be supportive. In fact, on no account (except on adultry grounds) should they be divorced. At least, the women saw him before jumping into marriage with him. He's now a part of her. Let her carry him like her baby. Or is marriage no longer for better for worse?
