The writer was quoting the source verbatim

God showers his blessings on the household of the judge for keeping a marriage.

GogobiriLalas:
What kind of nonsense ruling be dis , na by force?

yes

It's so clear Ubi Franklin settled some quaters.

He still wants to be labelled a married man while sowing his oats here and there.


Smhhhhh.

This is where it's annoying going through a court wedding.

If only she knew the kind of dog he is, she could have avoided this costly mistake.

Na WA o. The judge no try at all.

Kobicove:


Is Lilian up yo 37?!

Somebody born in 1982 is how old in 2019?

Angelfrost:
Funny... So, adultery is no longer a veritable ground for divorce. Even the Bible endorses divorce on an irreconcilable ground of adultery.

The judiciary has also gone to the dogs. Smh.

I am not sure that's basis for wanting divorce

Xisnin:


You don't honestly believe the bold. She has her reasons and probably doesn't want the details in the media.
Not every woman wants to follow Tonto Dike's footstep when dealing with separation

If the love is not there what’s the point being legally married?

Lifestone:

I am not sure that's basis for wanting divorce

If it's not, then what else? She doesn't love him anymore?.. Even then, she still has a way out via his adulterous ways.

Nawa o,people wan separate judge says no,this judge is supposed to be a marriage counselor,very funny case .
Na small pickin de worry una

meobizy:

If the love is not there what’s the point being legally married?

Yes. That is what the judge is not considering. He thinks he can force love by refusing the divorce.
What the judge is indirectly saying is that Lilian must say something evil about her ex before he
can dissolve their marriage.

Kobicove:

Is Lilian up yo 37?!

Google it. U will confirm it urself

The only people that don't need a court divorce are people who never got married in the first place.

Xisnin:


The only people that don't need a court divorce are people who never got married in the first place.

Oh ok

And people who did traditional marriage only.

No need for court decision on that as well?

This judge nawaoooooooooooo

Angelfrost:

Maybe she didn't put those facts to the face of the court. Mind you, she can not raise any new basis at appeal. Appeal court only review the judgement of the lower court based on what was presented to the court

This is just plain ridiculous! You can't force people t stay married not after all the social media comments, the guy having a child by other women and so on. Nigerian judges and sentimental reasoning, just rule according to facts not silly emotions!

Lifestone:

I see your point sir... Well, happy "reunion" to them.

I bet y’all won’t be rejoicing if it was Lilian who’s going around having kids right different men and the judge wants to force Ubi to remain married to her.
The type of things your support shows the kind of person you are. It’s really that simple.

danjumakolo:

PHIPEX:
I stand with the Judge at least he heard from the 2 sides. If not, with the way things are going people will divorce their spouses on the ground of "she doesn't know how to cook" or "he snows while asleep".

Lovelyn451:
What kinda judge is that

The judge be telling Lillian......u die there.

What marriage is there to enjoy with this man who’s been having babies left & right with multiple women, even before the court’s final decision? If I were Lilian, i’d appeal .Infidelity is a good enough reason for divorce.

fergie001:
This judge na the real MVP oooooo

well said

Thank God we are beginning to have responsible judges in Nigeria

Now she will be forced to spend the rest of her life with the dog she calls husband

Of course I wouldn't support her, not because I endorse promiscuity by men but because we are still in Africa where men doing such a think is not yet "a crime".

We equally have to discourage the rate of divorce, every offense or misunderstanding must not end in divorce.

Hey! Folks blaming the Judge do not understand what happens in Courts.

The Court is a place for legal matters - not emotions - and everything is done in the open, and can get into the media.

A Judge can refuse to dissolve a marriage even if the couples, both members of the marriage, agree to a divorce.

You've got to prove irreconcilable differences in court.

So for celebrities who are married by the Marriage Act, and whose breakup and divorce matters would get to the Courts (and social media!), where information revealed there is like being in the open market square and washing dirty linen, it is not like social media trials at all.

The couple who want separation have to really to convince a Judge that the differences are indeed irreconcilable, it can be very difficult to be honest and plain and not want to tarnish the image of the other party but leaving the real sleaze out - and still get a divorce when there is no hatred between the couple who simply want a legal separation.

The Judge would tell the couple and their lawyers that S/He was not there when they were loving each other and having fun to the extent of marriage and children - and s/he isn't convinced that the separation is irreconcilable. Oya, alele, go back home to continue your love and don't put your divorce on my head/name.

It is like Pilate washing his hands off the crucifixion of Jesus. It is difficult for people who don't work around the courts or visit it regularly to understand these things. To put it clearly, if two people in marriage do not exemplify extremely negative emotions towards each other, it is almost impossible to get a divorce before a Judge. For every friendliness the court sees, it would be willing to explore it and restore the marriage.

Judges are more interested in reconciliation of marriages than divorce. Marriage isn't for kids or people who cannot deal with extreme issues and keep the evidence if you ever want to get a divorce. Now, that is very difficult, because only a very wicked person can stay in a marriage and be keeping evidence of abuse against his/her wife/husband - so you see, except where there are clearly established cases of infidelity or threat to life or something - it is very difficult to honestly prove a case for divorce in court.

So yes, the next time you read something about proceeding from divorce cases, please know that in most cases, the issues are exaggerated so as to make the Judge get convinced.


N.B: Note that I didn't say 'all cases'

let's see what will happen...but the judgement though...they can't get married legally to whoever they want

HopeAlive14:
It beats my imagination why two people who started off loving themselves for years suddenly become enemies after marriage.

Let them go and work on their marriage; they will succeed.

After Ubi has 4 children from four different women?

danjumakolo:
God showers his blessings on the household of the judge for keeping a marriage.

Interesting

Our inability to call a spade a spade sometimes is amusing on our society.

If neither had known extra martial affairs, perfect.

Ubi is currently on his third/ fourth baby mama yet the judge thinks there is a marriage to save?

The said couple has not lived together for about two years yet there is a marriage according to the judge?

Lilian should appeal the verdict.

God bless that judge. If I'm the judge I will do likewise.

Thanks to the judge. Let her go and tell that man waiting for her behind the curtain its not now.

Nonsense!!!

Really?

After all Ubi has done?
