MY HUSBAND IS UNDER HIS MOTHER'S CONTROL - WIFE TELLS COURT

A housewife, Iyabo Olatunji, has begged an Akure
Customary Court to dissolve her five-year-old
marriage to her husband, Ezekiel, who is
allegedly under his mother’s tutelage.
Iyabo said her husband is an alcoholic and beats
her mercilessly without any caution from his
mother.
She revealed this during her divorce proceedings
on Friday.
In her defense, she said, “My husband was
working by his mother’s directive.
“It is my mother-in-law that gives us food and my
husband will not do anything except waiting for
his mother’s money.
“The worst part is that my mother-in-law will not
tell her son to stop beating me.”
She begged the court to dissolve her five-year-
old marriage to Ezekiel for alleged intake of
excessive alcohol.
The complainant said that she could no longer
tolerate the constant beating she got whenever
her spouse was drunk.
According to her, the alcoholic intake has
contributed to his irrational treatments.
She appealed to the court to award custody of
the only child of the marriage to her.
The President of the court, Mr Rotimi Olusanya,
ruling on the case, said the repeated refusal of
the defendant’s appearance in court would not
stop the proceedings.
He, therefore, adjourned the case till Sept. 27 for
judgment.
