She doesn`t care about the welfare of my kids and each time I complain about this she will always have one thing or another to say as a defense. When the matter became serious and unbearable for me, I had to endure the reproach of reporting her to her family members, even at a point her pastor intervened yet there was no change of attitude.
Painfully enough, nothing that was done, that was potent and convincing enough to make her budge. It has been woes all the while between us. I don`t love her anymore and there is no affection between us again”.

And that her husband has not being considerate: :Each time I say no to his sexual overtures; he bounces on me and makes love to me through my anus.”My husband makes love to me through my anus whenever I refused him sex because of my condition. Some couple of months back I had surgery and as it is now, I am not yet strong”, she concluded.
Upon hearing the complaints of both parties, the court president counseled the couple to give peace a chance in their union and have understanding between each other, and the case was subsequently adjourned to a later date.
