A housewife, Sa’adatu Ayuba, has urged a Grade 1 Area Court to dissolve her 27-year-old marriage to her husband, Jalija, for alleged impotence.

The petitioner got married to her husband in accordance with Islamic law in 1997 and is blessed with five children.

“I got married when I was 16 years old. I have never been with any other man before my marriage.

“I have been having misunderstandings with my husband for the past two years because he has a girlfriend.

“He has not been functioning as a man. I am tired of the situation and want a divorce in the interest of peace,” she said.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Jajija, in his response, stated that the petitioner’s allegation was false, saying he had no girlfriend.

“I took another wife and I am performing perfectly as a man.

“The lady I married has one child for me,” he said.

He added that he had been playing his role as a husband towards the petitioner.

The petitioner, however, debunked her husband’s claim saying that the woman in question was his girlfriend.

She said that she was not aware that her husband had married the woman.

The judge, Malam Saminu Suleiman gave the couple time to settle their differences amicably and adjourned the case.
