A distraught woman, Temilade Rasheed, has filed for divorce in Ibadan, Oyo state, before a Mapo Grade ‘A’ Customary Court.
During her testimony, she stated that her husband, Adeboye Rasheed, despises her for having three daughters.
Temilade requested that the court grant her divorce application so that they could separate.
According to the distraught woman, her estranged husband’s in-laws have been urging him to leave her for giving him three daughters.
”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,” Temilade said.
She further stated that Mr Rasheed has turned her into a punching bag.
She told the court that he has not been responsible for the welfare of the three children.
The petitioner consequently prayed the court to grant her custody of all the children but order Rasheed to be responsible for their upkeep.
The Court President, S.M. Akintayo, adjourned the suit until May 26 for the respondent to open his defence.
