My husband does not satisfy me in bed – Woman tells court

A woman identified as Iyabo Adebayo has asked the court to dissolve her 10-year-old marriage with her husband, Babatunde over lack of sexual satisfaction and irresponsibility.
The case was tried before a Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan.

Iyabo, the petitioner had told the court that her husband is too lazy in bed hence does not satisfy her sexual urge.
She asked for the marriage to be dissolved because she can no longer cope with his inability to satisfy her sexual urge.
“My lord, I no longer have any feeling for Babatunde again; he is lazy in bed and he can no longer satisfy me sexually.
“For so long, I had been coping with his inability to withstand my sexual urge, but I can’t cope with this any longer.

“My husband is also unable to take care of the material needs of our children and I.
“To worsen the situation, he derives pleasure in beating me at the slightest provocation,” Iyabo said.

The respondent, however, pleaded with the court to save his marriage as he promises to turn a new leaf.
“My lord, please save my marriage, I still love my wife, I will turn a new leaf.

“I cannot afford parting ways with my wife now. I am already an old man; I can’t start looking for a new wife at my age.”
The President of the court, Ademola Odunade in his judgement ordered that the marriage be dissolved due to irreconcilable differences.
“It is possible to take horse to the river, but impossible to force it to drink water.
“The court tried to settle the matter between Iyabo and Babatunde, but there was no solution.
“Therefore in the interest of peaceful coexistence, the union between Iyabo and Babatunde has been terminated.
“Iyabo shall take custody of the four children produced by the union.
“Babatunde shall pay a monthly feeding allowance of N10, 000 for the upkeep of the children in addition to being responsible for their education and other welfare needs,” he said
