Wife asks court to beg husband

Mariam Alagbede of Idiape village, Ogidi Area, Ilorin, appearing at the Area Court, Centre-Igboro, Ilorin, on Tuesday asked the court to beg her husband, Muhammed Bashir, not to divorce her.

The wife said that she was still interested in the marriage, saying: “I don’t want divorce.

“Please sir, help me beg him to forgive me for anything I might have done wrong.”

Earlier, the husband told the court that he married his wife three years ago, but he’s now tired of the marriage due to lack of love and his wife’s non-submissiveness.

The presiding Judge, Toyin Aluko, advised the wife to explore possible ways within the two families to settle the misunderstandings between them.

The court adjourned the case until Jan. 14, for a report on the settlement efforts.
