Wife calls for dissolution of her marriage after husband impregnated a mad woman

 

For reportedly impregnating a mentally sick woman, a housewife, Mrs Titi Kareem, has dumped her husband, Mr Rafiu Kareem.

However, it was learnt that the mentally sick woman later died due to pregnancy-related complications in Lagos State.

As a result of the public outcry over the act, the 13-year-old marriage has crashed as the wife who could not withstand the shame moved out of her matrimonial home at Igando Road, Ikotun, Lagos.

Mrs Kareem also filed a suit before a Customary Court sitting in Ejigbo area of the state, seeking for the dissolution of the marriage.

The mother of four kids said she could not cope with the behaviour of her husband because she no
longer loved him, urging the court to dissolve the marriage.

The embittered woman told the court that she got to know that her husband impregnated the mentally sick woman after the police arrested him over the death of the woman.

She said it was at that time Kareem opened up to her that he impregnated the deceased and she became ashamed and had to pack her property and leave.

She also told the court that apart from the shameful act of impregnating an insane woman, her hubby had been exhibiting strange behaviour towards her and their children and did not take care of them.

Mrs Kareem added he did not respect her as his wife because he slept with other women despite the fact that she played her role as his wife and took care of him.
