A primary school teacher’s wife, Mrs Konimai Manomi, has asked a Pankshin Upper Area Court in Plateau to dissolve her marriage over alleged total neglect and abandonment by her husband. But her husband is opposing the dissolution of the marriage on the grounds that it is against his religious beliefs. Presenting her petition before the Judge, Mr Joseph Challom, on Thursday, Manomi accused the husband of abandoning her and their four-year-old son at her paternal home for three years. She said that from all indications, her husband neither loved her anymore nor cared for her well-being and that of their only son. “In as much as he is no longer interested in me, he should give me a divorce certificate for me to have my freedom, ’’ she said.
