I Want A Divorce, My Wife Can’t Cook
One Ajumoti Ajibola, on Friday approached an Idi-Ogungun Customary Court, Agodi Ibadan, seeking dissolution of his three-year-old marriage with his wife, Bolaji, claiming his wife cooks tasteless and indecent meals.
Testifying before the court, Ajibola described the defendant as a disobedient wife, who hardly obeys instructions nor know how to do domestic works.
“She is not respectful and her mother, who is in the position to correct her mistakes, always supports her whenever I report my wife to her. “Also, she cannot prepare decent meals and I can no longer eat tasteless meals, so the court should end our union of three years, to enable me marry a woman that can cook good food for me,’’ he pleaded.
The defendant, however, informed the court that she married her husband in a registry, hence, the customary court had no jurisdiction to entertain the case.
“Although I agree with the dissolution of the marriage, the court should consider the fact that we were married in a Registry at Ibadan North Local Government,’’ Bolaji said.
