A Customary Court in Jikwoyi, Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), annulled the 14-year marriage between Maxwell Chuka and his wife, Christy on the grounds of childlessness.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Christy accepted the dissolution of their marriage because she has also lost interest in it.
“I am fed up with our marriage. I tried my best to have children, but all attempts failed.
“I went to different hospitals, took different decoctions, all to no avail,” she said.
Malam Labaran Gusau dissolved their marriage following the judgment as both parties lost interest in their union.
“It is on record that both parties have consented to the dissolution of their marriage.
The respondent requested the court to grant her husband’s divorce request.
“In view of this, the court has no choice but to dissolve their union.
“The petitioner waved to the bride for the twenty-five thousand naira he had paid.
Therefore, the defendant does not need to return it,” Labaran said.
