A Nigerian woman identified as Linda has requested that a Kaduna customary court dissolve her six-year marriage to Felix Stephen over “excessive demands for sex”.
According to NAN, the 37-year-old woman said she could no longer endure Stephen’s excessive sexual demands, describing his urge as “unbearable”.
She alleged that he often engaged in intercourse with her from midnight until morning, refusing to stop even when she cried.
She also accused her husband of lacking self-control, alleging that he beats her when she refuses his advances, even in front of their two children.
“I urge the court to dissolve this marriage because I can’t stand his excessive sexual urge; he likes sex too much and I can’t bear it,” she said.
“Most times, he would have sex with me from midnight till the early hours of the morning; even when I was crying, he would not stop.
“It has been three months since I moved out of his house, his relatives have been pleading with me to go back to him, but they do not know what I am facing.”
In his defense, Stephen pleaded for reconciliation instead of divorce, assuring the court that he is now ready to control his sexual urges.
He also urged the court to pacify Linda and grant him time to resolve their issues.
“I took my uncles and friends to her parent’s house to plead with her, but she refused to listen to us; instead, she walked out on us,’’ he said.
John Dauda, the judge, adjourned the case to May 6 for an update on the reconciliation and urged both parties to remain peaceful.
