A 28-year-old woman, Toriola Suliat, has told her husband, Toriola Lateef, that she would only consent to his request for divorce if he returns her virginity and good health, as she was two years ago before the union.
Suliat stated her conditions before an Iseyin Grade C Customary Court on Wednesday.
The husband had filed the suit for the dissolution of the marriage over “frequent public embarrassment.”
The court heard that Suliat was in the habit of harassing her husband at his workplace and social functions.
Lateef said he left his matrimonial home after he could no longer bear the trouble.
Suliat accused her husband of using black magic to get her to marry him.
“Ideally I will not marry this type of human being, if not for the charm he used on me.
“I was looking for charm to help my business grow and he told me that he will need to get some hairs from my private part and also make love to me, that was how I found myself married to him.
“When I got to his house, my business boomed and he also made lot of money too and we got it renewed twice but now my health is deteriorating and he now moved out of the house.
“He must look for a way to return my virginity and my health, before he can say he wants to leave me,” she said.
President of the Court, Raheem Adelodun, said the case would be put on hold until Suliat gets better.
He ordered the families of the estranged couple to seek urgent medical help for Suliat and update the court every 15 days.
