“A 69-year-old housewife, Simbiatu Oduntan, on Wednesday told an Orile Agege Customary Court in Lagos that her husband, Alhaji Mustairu Oduntan, 84, wanted to divorce her because she refused him sex. “The main reason my husband wants to leave me is because I refused to satisfy his demands for sex.
“I have lost the urge for sex. My thinking is not towards that direction again; but my husband still wants sex. “I have told him to get another wife,’’ she said. The trader and mother of 4 encouraged her husband to get another wife, while the husband claims she does not care for him and also doesn’t cook any longer. The court has adjourned the case until May 15. Serious matter.
While I am left wondering what an 84 year-old man is still that insistent on sex, I also wonder why the woman is not performing her conjugal obligations to the man! Is she right for denying the man sex? Is he justified ending the marriage on that front?
