Court Dissolves 2-Year-Old Marriage Because Husband Is Sleeping With House Maid

The 2-year-old marriage between Doyinsola Adebiyi and Adebiyi Kayode, has been dissolved by a Gudu Grade 1 Area court, Abuja over extra-marital affairs between the husband and their maid.

Doyinsola, a resident of Federal Housing Lugbe, Abuja, pleaded with the court to dissolve her 2-year-old marriage because of her husband’s extramarital affair with their maid.

The 26-year-old housewife said that her maid confessed that her husband impregnated her twice, which she aborted and that “she is currently three months pregnant for my husband.”

Doyinsola said the extra-marital affair made her agitated so she left Lagos state for Abuja.

“Two months after I left the house, my husband married a 20-year-old woman and never bothered to look for me,” she said.

Kayode, 51, residing in Adegbe, Lagos, who never appeared in court, wrote a letter to the court through his lawyer, authorising the court to grant his wife’s request.

He said since she had decided to abandon her matrimonial home, the court should dissolve the marriage.

The judge, Mr Abdul Bello, consequently dissolved the marriage.
