My husband has not slept with me for 2 years, woman tells court
The defendant denied all allegations, saying he tried his best to satisfy his wife sexually.
A 25-year-old housewife, Ruqayya Mukhtar, told a Shari’a court sitting at Rigasa, Kaduna, on Thursday that her husband had not slept with her for two years.
The complainant, who prayed to the court to dissolve her marriage to Naziru Hamza, also complained that her husband assaulted and insulted her.
In his defence, the defendant denied all allegations, saying he tried his best to satisfy his wife sexually.
“Since I go out to seek my daily bread, I sometimes come home late and tired, but my wife doesn’t understand; she always demands intimacy.
“I oblige many times and sometimes beg her to be patient till the next morning, and I don’t beat her,” he said.
The judge, Malam Anass Khalifa, asked the complainant if she had witnesses, and she said yes.
He adjourned the matter until Sept. 5 for the complainant to present her witnesses.
