No, have them tied to the stake and shot dead. See question.

Go free? No I said she should divorce him immediately. No need to even wait to hear anything from him or let any elder convince her otherwise

She is already having murderous thoughts. Its better she divorces. And I would support ANY woman who wants to divorce to "just do it" and not continue insulting Nigerian men, elders or culture that they are the ones stopping her from her dream of getting a divorce

Or what punishment do you suggest? Death by Boko Haram?

she does....
however, she made the mistake of putting the cart before the horse. the first step is to discuss the matter with her partner & see what he has to say to defend the accusation.

24 hours after discovering her hubby is seeing other chics, she ran to NL for advice after making up her mind to seek divorce without even letting her other half know what's up. is that how it's done in our village, madam cocoa? cheesy

You do have to understand that this is a very difficult thing to deal with, she's clearly not thinking straight(which is very understandable) cheating is a very big deal for some people, especially the type described by the OP, and you should know that before a lady decides to divorce a man so early in marriage, she must really be broken. It's not nice to talk about her in the manner you are because she seems to want revenge, you just made it sound like cheating(when done by a man) is no big deal.

of course, women get hurt when they find out their partners are flirting with other girls, never mind shtupping them. my point is the consequences of such liaisons are graver for women than men especially in marriage.



it depends!
every case should be assessed based on its merits. in most cases, divorce could be deemed selfish especially when there are kids involved. why should the kids suffer just because the so called adults can't sort themselves out?

Now, the kids won't have to suffer if he kept his thang in his pants rii?

It's the kids talk that has led to women staying in homes where they're basically trampled on, they are advised to put their family first before their own sanity which of course is not my problem if she's cool with that. Now, what does the so called "head" of the home sacrifice? A couple bucks??

Now, the way I see things, marriage is meant to be for the benefit of man and woman. Sure, compromise will be made occasionally but that's up to the two people in the marriage not you, me or society.

No. But the current lynching has not even made it reduce one bit.

Nigeria probably has one of the harshest punishment for robbery yet it does nothing to deter people

Its not about these threads per se, it's more about the fact that you men seem to always find a way to make light of cheating by men and that's just not right, plus it's kinda annoying/insulting.angry

How do you know it's just threats? She could really be needing genuine advice on how to go about it.

Ofcourse she must have heard of infidelity in marriages but that doesn't mean one should expect that from their spouse, especially if the persons involved never made their intentions to cheat known, or are there no longer honest people on planet earth? It's not about shockwaves being sent to your system, it's about realizing that infidelity is a huge deal and treating it as such, not mocking a woman who finds herself in such a situation, where's your empathy? undecided

And we don't see threads with men complaining about the women in their life, seeking advice on what to do?

Btw, there are like a zillion people on here, should it really be surprising seeing many of these threads? Afterall, issues like this, is part of what's keeping this forum alive.

Now it's copied, anyways I said nothing about mourning or whatnot, I'm only saying mocking isn't the way to go either but what do I know? Rock on.

Is it a must to confide in family members? What if she already did and wants to augment with NL?

Really? I guess one should also stay if they married a murderer because it's part and parcel of the deal, get real jor.

Wait o, I have trouble understanding the question, are you saying one should expect infidelity or what? Is that normal behavior?

Making unsubstantiated claims is rather just irrational. She should have conclusive evidence before approaching hubby.

Nursing Murderous tendencies and divorce in a short time over unconfirmed allegations can be summed to be a predetermined decision to bail out of her matrimonial responsibilities.

Divorce should be the very last option she could nurse in a matrimonial conflict resolution except she want to prove a point to nairaland ladies that she walks the talk. Have you even consider if it's a male behind the moniker trying to stir and Guage the waters on females perspectives?

I don't need to consider who's behind the moniker because these things happen everyday, if you don't know that, I do.

You know for some weird reason,I actually thought for a second, the other post or yours was some kind of joke and now I wonder why.

So seeing series of flirtatious sms where conversations of how much was given to the other ladies and refusing to sleep with his wife, is not enough proof? Are you really being serious? How many people who knew their partners were /is cheating, caught them in the act? I am sorry but I find this line of thought seriously insane.

You can't tell someone what to do in a situation like this, divorce might be the best option for her as decided by her, you don't know the deal between her and her man.

why did you choose to marry a murderer out of the 30 suitors you had? you dotted the is crossed the ts. you came up with a guy that you believed was the best out of the lot. so how did you come up with a murderer? why harangue us here for the bad choices you made? cheesy

Not making light of the situation, the choice is her to make. Either to investigate or divorce what's my own. Being gender protective is not desirable in this sensitive issue.

Let her approach the court.

The marriage must be 2 years before she approaches the court.

The learn jurist will give her another two years to work on the marriage.

Then another 6 months to sort the marriage before divorce can be entertained because

1. No witness.
2. No concrete evidence.

Unless the husband Plead guilty and enter plea bargain.

Interesting thread.

OP, do What you feel is best for you.

Bellong, TV01, etc. your opinion is needed on this thread.

I have my reasons.

Is there anything to contribute to her quest?

The opening sentence is a give away of a deep underlying problems between them "hubby has been acting funny of late".. Meaning, he wasn't like that prior to acting funny of late.

I do not encourage divorce as the first point of call in a marital crisis. Yes, she could be distraught at her finding but it doesn't give her the right to bring the case to a court of public opinion without letting the accused know his offence. In law, her case would be thrown out for not following due process. I could wager my pension that she can't win this case if she goes straight to divorce proceedings. The presiding judge will ask efforts they have made at resolution before arriving at divorce.

She needs to discuss with her husband. Her subsequent post shows that the husband is not totally irresponsible except for this new found hobby in drilling different artesian wells..
