A woman, Temilade Rasheed, has asked a Mapo Grade ‘A’ Customary Court in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital to dissolve her marriage to her husband, Adebayo Rasheed.
The divorce-seeking housewife told the court on Wednesday that her husband hates her for giving birth to three girls and a boy.
The petitioner stated that her husband is unhappy with her because the number of female children she birthed is more than the number of male child, thereby making life hellish for her in the marriage.
In her testimony, she prayed the court to grant her application for divorce.
Temilade, while seeking the dissolution, told the court that, “My in-laws are pushing my estranged husband to leave me for producing three girls and one boy.

“My lord, Rasheed no longer loves me because I gave birth to three girls. After my girls were born, he threw me like garbage and married another wife.
“The only one Rasheed caters for is my fourth child, who is a male.”
Furthermore, the petitioner stated that her husband has turned her into a punching bag.
She told the court that he has not been responsible for the welfare of the three children.
Temilade consequently prayed the court to grant her custody of all the children but order Rasheed to be responsible for their upkeep.
The Court President, Mrs S.M. Akintayo, adjourned the suit until May 26 for the respondent to open his defence.
