Man Divorces Wife For Wearing Jean Trousers , Ex - Banker Says Wife Too Worldly

A former banker, Mr. Ebenezer Olotuyemi, yesterday told
an Agege Customary Court, Lagos, that his wife, Osi,
was not a godly woman. According to him, his wife has
been engaging in worldly activities like wearing of jeans
trousers. Olotuyemi also told the court that his wife did
not love and respect him.
He prayed the court to dissolve their 16-year-old
marriage which is blessed with two children, 10 and 15
years. The former banker, who is the defendant, said that
there was no love any longer in the marriage.
He said:
“She is a worldly woman, who doesn’t go to church, and
but loves to go out all dressed in jeans trousers.”
However, Osi, who filed for the divorce, complained that
she was tired of the marriage.
She said:
“He is too judgmental and he gets too aggressive at
every little thing. He is a stubborn and troublesome
man.” Osi also said her husband had not been taking
responsibility of the children as he left them in her
father’s house, for over two months now. “He has
threatened my father’s life,” she added.
The court, having seen that both parties consented to
the termination of the marriage, adjourned the case till
October 11.
The court also told Olotuyemi to write an undertaking
that prior to the date of the adjournment, he must not be
found around his father-in-law’s house and around the
kids, else he would be imprisoned for three months
without any option of fine.
