45-year-old housewife, Mrs. Suzana Abubokhale, has told a Mushin grade ‘A’ Customary Court how a love oath she took with her husband prevented her from remarrying 22 years after they separated.
She said:
‘I am now 45 years old but I cannot remarry or bear children because of the oath I took with my husband a few years ago. I want the court to ask my husband to compensate me for the pains and loss it has caused me. I have suffered living under the fear of the oath. Thank God the oath has now been neutralized.”
She recalled how her husband had subjected her to incessant beatings while their union lasted adding that he once hit their only daughter on one occasion.
“My husband used to beat me all the time, and there was a day he hit our only daughter, Eurica, when she was nine months old causing her body injury,” she said.
Responding, Mr. Osezua said he was no longer interested in the marriage alleging that his wife was arrogant and promiscuous.
“I will not compensate her for anything. She is arrogant and exhibited infidelity. In her ruling, president of the court, Mrs. R.O Wushishi dissolved the marriage and noted that since their daughter is of age, she could decide who she wants to live with.”
