Nigerian woman sues husband for denying her conjugal rights

A businesswoman, identified as Mrs. Joy Abu, has dragged her husband before a customary court in Nyanya, Abuja, on Thursday, March 9, for allegedly denying her conjugal rights.

The woman, who lives in the Jikwoyi area of Abuja, also accused her husband, Daniel, of being irresponsible.

She said her husband does not care about her or their children, and on this basis, she is seeking divorce.

Her words,

“My husband has practically denied me of my conjugal rights; he doesn’t care to know how I feel, he doesn’t know that marriage is not only about food. A responsible man will cater also for the emotional needs of his wife.”

She prayed the court to grant her divorce, the custody of the children and compel her husband to pay N100,000 per month for the upkeep of their children.

The husband, who was present in court, however, denied all the allegations.
