Our last fight had to do with the issue of who should take the children to school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy relatives and his have tried on many occasions to intervene, but no amicable solution was reached.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI squeezed his private part because Ayodele put his hands on me.

I am not interested in the marriage anymore,\u201d Bolanle said.<\/p>\n<p>The President of the court, Mrs S.M. Akintayo, in her judgment, held that Ayodele could not substantiate his earlier claim that he paid the bride price before securing Bolanle\u2019s hand in marriage and so rendered the traditional marriage invalid.<\/p>\n<p>Akintayo held that the fact that the petitioner could not remember the actual amount he paid as bride price to the respondent\u2019s parents meant that he did not pay anything on her.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, there is no marriage to be dissolved between them.<\/p>\n<p>The court\u2019s president, however, said that since they were no longer interested in living together under the same roof, they were free to go their separate ways.<\/p>\n<p>She granted an order, restraining Bolanle from further threatening, harassing, and interfering in the personal life of Ayodele.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
