An Area Court at Center-Igboro, Ilorin in Kwara on Friday, dissolved the marriage between Majeed Suleiman and Ganiyat Suleiman on the request of husband, over wife’s adultery. According to Ahmed, divorce is not something to hurriedly conclude, but in a situation when the petitioner insists and behaves like he can no longer tolerate his partner, divorce should be considered. Earlier, the petitioner told the court that his wife was having an extramarital affair over seven years, adding that he could no longer tolerate her. “I can no longer tolerate my wife having extramarital affairs, especially considering the age of our kids; 9, 12 and 15 years old,” he said. The respondent however, said that she was still interested in the relationship and insisted to remain with her kids in her matrimonial home.
