Housewife seeks divorce over alleged deafness from beating

A partially deaf woman, Mrs. Toyin Ola, told an  Agege Grade ‘A’ Customary Court that his husband, Mr. Lanre Ola, made life difficult for her.The 35-year-old hairdresser said constant beating she received from her hubby made her deaf. “We lived together for five years without a child consequent upon which Lanre abandoned me in his house.

At first, he started beating me. I reported him to his family which intervened but the situation did not change,” the petitioner stated. She urged the court to dissolve the marriage. Lanre denied the constant beating charge. Meanwhile, the president of the court, Mr. Shokunle, adjourned the case for judgment.
