A fashion designer, Mrs Omotolani Alele is asking the court to separate her from her husband because he had beat her for not worshiping his family idol.
Omotolani, approached the court for dissolution of her five-year-old marriage on grounds of brutality and threat to her life by her husband, Anthony.
It was gathered that the hearing of the case began on Feb. 1 and was adjourned till Feb. 8 for the defendant to produce their marriage certificate. She had refuted the claim of her husband that they were legally married.
However, at the resumed hearing of the case today, the husband failed to produce the marriage certificate.
“My husband asked me to join him to worship his family idol several times but l refused, and this made him to beat me always. His parents did not want him to marry me but we came together since he claimed to love me but he changed. He even took the only child of the union from me and cannot really say where he kept my child. I pray the court to grant my request for divorce; I am not ready to worship any idol and l don’t want die young due to his constant beating,’’Omotolani pleaded.
