A Grade A Customary Court in Mushin, Lagos,has adjourned a divorce case till July 27 to allow the estranged couple time for possible reconciliation.
A 49-year-old engineer, Abubakar Adebayo, had pleaded with the court to dissolve his marriage of 26 years to Monsurat for alleged neglect.
The petitioner told the court that Monsurat, a trader in Mushin, had abandoned him and their five children aged 26, 22, 16, 15 and eight years.
He told the court that he was no longer interested in the marriage since Monsurat preferred her business to her family.
However, Monsurat pleaded with the court to reconcile them, saying she abandoned the matrimonial home to reduce her stress of going to her shop in Mushin from her Ejigbo home on daily basis.
President of the court,Abayomi Ipaye, blamed the respondent for abandoning her matrimonial home.
He, however, asked the estranged couple to see the judges after the sitting for possible reconciliation.
He therefore adjourned the case till July 27.
