…he is father of my 3-year-old child, pregnant wife insists
By Okechukwu Onuegbu
It was comic drama at the Amawbia Customary Court Awka South Local Government Area, when Ikechukwu Anarah alleged that his wife, Nkiruka Anarah (nee Nwogo) never allow him have sexual intercourse with her without condom.
Nkiruka had earlier filed divorce, accusing her husband of negligence and chasing her out of her matrimonial home.
However, the defendant while cross-examining the plaintiff, alleged that he always had to plead with his wife for hours before she could give in to his sexual advances, even then, she would insist he wears a condom.
Ikechukwu, who posited that he was the breadwinner of the family, also accused his wife of unfaithfulness, alleging that she abandoned him on several occasions to live with her boyfriend in Lagos, as well as squandered the money he invested in setting up an enterprise for her.
Responding, the plaintiff refuted her husband’s allegations, saying that the marriage was blessed with a three-year-old child.
Nkiruka, who is pregnant, explained that she wanted divorce because according to her, there are suitors asking for her hand in marriage but her estranged husband had refused to come for the dowry even though he is married to another woman.
Asked by the court President, Joy Mbachu, how the marriage became blessed with a child if, indeed, they had never had unprotected sexual intercourse, Ikechukwu attributed it to God, adding that it was first time he slept with his wife without condom.
Mbachu also sought to know why the applicant (Nkiruka) was pregnant having admitted that she left their matrimonial home years ago. The plaintiff said that it belongs to another man who is ready to marry her in order to refund Ikechukwu’s dowry.
On that note, Ikechukwu said he would consent to divorce if only the plaintiff would release the child to him.
But Nkiruka insisted that the child would only be returned to him when he is 18 years old.
The case was adjourned till May 30 for further hearing.
