A middle-aged-man identified as Collins Nduka, on Thursday, April 30, 2015 pleaded with an Ojo Customary Court in Lagos State to order his wife, Sefinat Nduka, to refund N1.4 million he spent in marrying her.

Nduka told the court that his wife, whom he married three years ago, was unfaithful and had decided to abandon her matrimonial home for more than a year.

“I would want a refund of the amount that I spent as marriage and dowry expenses because she has become unfaithful.

“My wife is not faithful to the marriage because she has other relationships apart from me and I no more love her. After all, she has not given birth to any child for me.

“The most painful thing is that she has parked all my belongings in my house to an unknown place in addition to her emptying my shop which I stocked with over N750,000,” he said.

The aggrieved man further narrated how their union of three years was threatened as his wife seemed to have obviously lost interest in the marriage.

“I invited my friends from outside the country to make the marriage an expensive one and after it, she wants to leave me for another man, I need my dowry so she can be free,” Nduka said.

He pleaded with the court to dissolve the marriage and order Sefinat to return his belongings which she allegedly parked away and money to him so that he could continue with his life.

Sefinat, who did not show up at the court had earlier indicated her interest in getting a divorce while maintaining that she she did not cart away her husband’s property as he had alleged.

President, Chief Joseph Ogunmola, advised Nduka that divorce might not be the best alternative and urged him to invite his wife in court before a concensus would be reached on the matter.

He said, “The court does not dissolve any marriage except in extreme cases, we need the consent of both parties before judgment so she must be invited.”

Ogunmola, therefore, adjourned the case to Tuesday, May 19, 2015 for further hearing.

This thing called marriage wasn't like this before.....The rate of broken marriages nowadays is alarming.....

Good. But what are the "extreme" cases they look for that can make a court dissolve a marriage? So one can't just divorce a cheating wife? Na wah. I'm having some hatred for court weddings already.

From where u dey get all this ur pictures self

Godvilla:
Oh! Really?
Please tell me more

Then d man go pay 4damages

These Hoes ain't loyal!

na wao. wetin I wan comment sef ?

A beg click LIKE if you don't know what to comment too

Sefinat? I thought it is only Igbo girls that a groom can spend millions to marry?

lol...but why would that woman behave like dat mtchwwwww


anyway the man should just move on and forget watever penny he spent on her..refunding is in oxford dictionary not in dowry

still laughing though..lol.

If what he claimed is true, then I see no reason why the marriage shouldn't be dissolved. Though there should be a mutual consent before any action is taken. Wish you luck in your pursuit of happiness.

Okay

Hmm. Oga o

1.2m nawaoooo......... D man spent a lot oooo.stupid luv

Lol! Tales that touches! He berra wake up! Thats the fee for doing the koko with her na! The woman will also claim damages as he don enjoy something. The truth is the only thing the woman traditionally will be required to return is the dowry not the actual amount spent on the wedding. He was not forced to spend a fortune hence the woman might not even return the dowry as he can not return the woman to the previous state she was in before he married her. He's not getting a dime, a divorce yes but money? Nah!
