Wife’s unfaithfulness leads to dissolution of 10-year-old marriage
A Mushin Customary Court in Lagos on Wednesday dissolved the 10-year-old marriage between Alhaji Ismail Odupelu, 36, and his estranged wife Tawakalitu, 36, over infidelity.
The paternity of the last child aged nine months was confirmed in the open by a DNA report that Odupelu was not the biological father of the child,’’ the court President, Dr Abayomi Ipaye said.
The petitioner (Odupelu) had insisted on the dissolution while the respondent wanted the marriage sustained.
Ipaye said all efforts to reconcile the estranged couple in the suit file on Feb. 17 proved abortive as the man could not reconcile with the idea of his wife having had a child for another man while still legally married to him.
Ipaye said, however, that the custody of the first two children should remain with the respondent pending the decision of the family court.
He also ordered the petitioner to be paying his former wife N10,000 monthly for the children’s upkeep.
The petitioner is also to be responsible for the education and medical expenses of the children aged 10 and eight.
The woman, however, said: ``I still want us to continue with our marriage because of the upkeep of the children and I believe that Odupelu is the father of the last child.
``Although my husband and I went for the DNA test, I am not satisfied with the result though the result was sealed when we collected it.
“I believe the devil is working and God will counter it.’’
