A 26 -year-old trader, Adebola Tanimawo, on Friday told a Grade II Customary Court how her husband, Saheed, stabbed her severally during a domestic brawl.
Besides, she alleged that her husband had turned her into a punching bag, beating her to a pulp at the slightest provocation.
Adebola, who said she was no longer interested in the relationship, pleaded with the court to dissolve the four-year-old marriage.
She also alleged that Saheed was an irresponsible husband, adding that he did not take care of her during pregnancy and even when she put to bed.
Adebola further told the court that the marriage had produced a child, who she said was with her mother in-law.
She, however, said she had no objection to the child being with her mother in-law.
The complainant said she had packed out of their matrimonial home in Ijeun in Abeokuta for about two months as a result of the alleged maltreatment.
Adebola, who indicated her resolve to go back to school to complete her secondary education, pleaded with the court to dissolve the marriage ``to save my life and my future’’.
Saheed, a 28-year-old photographer, consented to the dissolution of the marriage, saying that he was also tired of the relationship.
He described her estranged wife as wicked, troublesome, devilish and also provocative.
Saheed urged the court to warn Adebola not to come anywhere near him, adding, however, that she could go to his mother anytime she wanted to see her daughter.
The President of the court, Chief Ishola Fajebe, dissolved the marriage and warned the couple to maintain the peace.
