Infidelity: Doctor Wants 30-Year Old Marriage Dissolved.
United Kingdom-based doctor, Rosemary Abara has asked an Ikeja High Court in Lagos to dissolve her 30-year old marriage over alleged infidelity by her husband, Ngozi Abara.
Abara who was testifying before Justice Joseph Oyewole told the court that her husband took all the sacrifices she had made for the success of the marriage for granted by having a child outside wedlock.
She said their marriage on June 10, 1980 had failed to produce any child, despite several attempts, including a rigorous Intro-Vitro Fertilisation process in London.
The petitioner said her husband eventually told her to relocate to London while he would remain in Lagos where he was working as a civil servant to enable her make more money for fertility treatments.
She said: “I had to leave for London where I got a job as a junior doctor while he used to come regularly to visit me.
Rosemary said the defendant withdrew 20,000 British Pounds from her account in April 2005 and a few days later shocked her with the news that another woman was carrying his child.
Oyewole, after hearing her testimony adjourned the case to Feb. 22 for cross-examination and defence.

My Wife Is A Cheat, Man Tells Court.
Samson Hassan has dragged his wife, Taiwo Hassan, 43 before the Agege Customary Court presided over by E. B. Shokunle, seeking for a divorce.
The duo live at Gas Line, Ijoko Road, Sango-Ota, Ogun State.
Hassan explained that the marriage of 12 years and blessed with three kids should be dissolved because of irreconciliable differences.
He also attributed his reason for seeking divorce to the sudden change in the behaviour of his wife after the marriage.
The estranged couple had three kids, Taiye, 9, Kehinde, 9 and Sope, 6.
“I have caught my wife with different men in a place not befitting of a married woman while we were still together.
“I also caught my wife with a man she claimed owed her N300,000 when she was six months pregnant. On another occasion, I caught her with another man whom she described as her old school mate,” he told the court.
He told the court further that his estranged wife left their matrimonial home for days without any cogent reason.
“She does not care about her children which is unbecoming of a good housewife and a mother. What kind of a wife will leave her matrimonial home without caring about what becomes of her husband and children?” he asked.
In her response, the respondent denied the allegations and accused her husband of being a violent man. “I don’t go out at all nor visit people. It is my husband that always beat me on flimsy excuses. I even took a photograph of the wounds I sustained from one of such beatings from my husband,” she disclosed.
She told the court that she used to be a hairdresser before she got married to Hassan who stopped her from practicing her trade. “As a good wife, I obeyed my husband because I wanted peace and harmony in the marriage,” Taiwo added.
Taiwo told the court further that she was not against the petition but urged the court to direct the petitioner to grant her N70,000 monthly as upkeep allowance for her and the three children of the union.
After listening to the parties, the court adjourned the case till 13 January, 2011 and requested that the children of the marriage be brought to court by the next adjourned date.
