Sherifat, 31, a resident of Maraba Area, Ilorin, had urged the court to dissolve her marriage to Nurudeen, saying her husband was addicted to cigarette smoking.
The three-year-old marriage between an estranged wife, Sherifat Azeez, and her husband, Nurudeen, was dissolved by an Ibrin Area Court, on Wednesday, over the latter’s smoking habit
“My lord, I want an end to this marriage because I see no reason in enduring with a man that values cigarette smoking more than his wife,” she said.
She accused her husband of smoking everywhere in their sitting room, not minding its negative effect on the health of others.
“My husband will even at times smoke in our bedroom and sitting room, polluting the whole environment and making it uncomfortable for living,” she said.
According to her, their marriage was contracted in 2011 and had yet to produce any child.
The defendant, however, did not object to the prayer of his wife, saying she was free to go.
“My wife knew I was a smoker before we got married, so I wonder why she now complains about my smoking habit,” he said.
He prayed the court to grant the prayer of his wife without any claim.
The presiding judge, Mr. Yusuf Abdulkareem, dissolved the marriage and issued a certificate of divorce to the plaintiff.
