Woman Resists Husband’s Divorce, Says: 'He Married Me When I Was Just 18'


A mild drama played out in a Lagos court when a certain 28-year-old woman, Mrs. Olufunke Sodimu has refused to be intimidated by her husband’s decision to divorce her as she informed the court that she still loves her husband.

Her husband, Mr. Lawrence Sodimu had earlier informed an Oshodi Customary Court in Lagos that he was no longer interested in the marriage.

He had asked the court to dissolve their 8-year-old marriage on the ground that his wife is too quarrelsome. He added that his wife was fond of engaging him in violent wrestling bouts whenever they had misunderstandings.

“My wife is too quarrelsome. She is so aggressive and is always fighting me. Unfortunately, there is nobody to report her to. I married her from her grand mother who is now late. I don’t know any other person who can help to curb her aggression. I have tried my best to make her change her ways but it has proved unsuccessful. I want the court to dissolve the marriage forthwith.”

Responding to the allegations, the woman told the court that she is not ready to divorce her 58-year-old husband. “I will not divorce him. I married him at the age of 18 and I am not ready to change from one man to another,” she yelled.

The case was however adjourned to a later date.

I strongly feel there's a very warm hug to give out in this story. Who do you think we should give it to?
