A 42-year-old man, Bahago Linus, on Tuesday begged an Upper Area Court in Mararaba, Nasarawa State, to dissolve his 13 years marriage to his wife, Aisha, for alleged irresponsible behaviour, a threat to life and violence. He alleged that the respondent does not let him scold their children, rather she threatens him whenever he does. The petitioner also informed the court that his wife was irresponsible and had no regards for him, and disrespects him at every slight opportunity. “For instance, I scolded my children for using a stone to scratch my car paint, but instead of sympathising with me and scolding the children as a mother, rather she attacked me. The respondent, Aisha, however, was absent in court in spite court summons issued to her.
