A 37-year-old woman, Linda Stephen, has approached a Kaduna Customary Court seeking divorce from her husband, Felix Stephen, citing his excessive sexual demands and alleged physical abuse as the main reasons for filing for divorce
In her petition, Linda, a resident of Ungwan Sunday in Kaduna, told the court that she could no longer cope with her husband’s constant need for sex, which she described as unbearable.
“I urge the court to dissolve this marriage because I can’t stand his excessive sexual urge. He likes sex too much, and I can’t bear it,” she said. She further alleged that Felix frequently subjected her to long hours of sexual activity, even when she was in distress.
“Most times, he would have sex with me from midnight till early hours of the morning. Even when I am crying, he will not stop.
“It has been three months since I moved out of his house. His relatives have been pleading with me to go back to him, but they do not know what I am facing,” she added.
Linda also accused her husband of resorting to violence whenever she tries to turn down his advances, stating that he had physically abused her in front of their two children.
