Help! My Husband Wants Me to Kill Our Unborn Baby - 40-year-old Woman Cries Out in Kwara

 

A woman has testified in court about her how her husband sent her packing for refusing to terminate 6-months-pregnancy.

 

The 40-year-old housewife, Amudalat Afolabi, made the revelation while testifying before an Ilorin Area Court, in a divorce petition filed against her husband, yesterday in Kwara State,

 

According to her, her husband, Tajudeen, decided to kick her out because she refused to kill her child.

 

“My husband sent me away from our matrimonial home because I refused to terminate the six months pregnancy am carrying,” she said.

 

According to Vanguard, Amadalat, 40, did not oppose the dissolution of the 20-year-old marriage, but described Tajudeen as “an irresponsible man.” She said she was tired of being enslaved by a “useless man.”

 

Tajudeen, 50, a residence of Edun Area, Ilorin, had prayed the court to dissolve the marriage alleging infidelity by his wife.

 

He said the marriage was contracted in 1996 and had produced five children: Monsurat,18; Ibrahim,16; Mohammed,12; Lateefat, 10; Fatimoh, eight, who are all living with him because their mother had abandoned their matrimonial home.

 

He said: “I am fed up with her waywardness. She is not stable and always frames excuses for her actions.

 

He, therefore, urged the court to dissolve the marriage and award him custody of the children.

 

The area court judge, Mr. AbdulQudri Ibrahim, dissolved the marriage between the two parties and issued the certificate of divorce to the complainant.
