What more indignity and pains could befall a man when he finds out that three out of the four children his wife had for him are not his but possibly that of other men.
Muraina Adisa, a 48 year old farmer today, Wednesday September 24, took his wife, Temitope, to an Iseyin Customary Court over the paternity of three of their children.
The complainant told the court that they had been married for about 15 years with four children aged 15, 13, 10 and seven.
On the grounds of the divorce, Mr. Adisa said his wife’s unfaithfulness triggered his decioin to run to the court for succor.
Muraina said he reliably gathered that three of the children were not his own.
“I know the first born is mine, but I can’t say the same for others. They look so much like my wife’s concubines. She does not even know what it means to be a married woman as she sleeps around with neighbours and all kinds of men. Already, I have become a laughing stock among my friends and family members; I have been reliably informed that the three children are not mine. I asked her to swear by the God of iron that the children are mine but she ran out of the house, ’’ Muraina said.
He prayed the court to dissolve the union in the interest of peace and harmony.
Temitope, however, denied the allegation, saying the three children were for her husband.
The defendant, who admitted having concubines, said:
“I know and I can swear with anything available that all the four children are for Muraina. I started having concubines of recent because he also began to sleep around the neighborhood and would be away for about five days. I have to make myself happy,” she said.
In his ruling, the President of the court, Mr. Raimi Oyegbenle, ordered the estranged couple to be present in court with their parents and family members at the next adjourned date.
He expressed optimism that the crisis would be resolved amicably with the help of family members. The case was thereafter adjourned further hearing.
