A 28-year-old woman, Suliat Toriola, yesterday, told her husband,
Toriola Lateef, that she would only consent to his request for the
dissolution of their marriage 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
in Oyo State, where the husband had gone seeking for the dissolution
of the marriage over “frequent public embarrassment.”
He told the Court that Suliat was in the habit of harassing him at his
work place and social functions attended by his friends and relatives.
The husband said he had to move out of their matrimonial home due to
the unbearable development.
Responding, Suliat said she was charmed by Toriola before she agreed
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.”
Ruling on the matter, the President of the Court, Raheem Adelodun,
said the case would be put on hold until the health condition of
Suliat improves.
He ordered the families of the estranged couple to seek urgent medical
help for Suliat and update the Court every 15 days.
