Man divorces wife for cooking pork meat for his mother

According to reports, a man asked the court to dissolve his 16-year marriage because his wife dared to cook and serve pork meat to his mother.

The man identified as Mr Kolawole Adegoke, asked a customary court in Agodi, Ibadan, Oyo state, to end his 16-year marriage over a problem with his wife.

According to the fashion designer, his wife Adeyinka, had gone ahead to serve his mother pork meat, while ignoring the fact that she's a Muslim and such meat was a taboo to them.

Making his case, Adegoke said:

"My lord, the major grudge I have against her is that she intentionally bought and cooked pork for my mother who is a Muslim.

Her action is disgusting; I see no reason for her to cook such meat which is forbidden for my mother, a Muslim. The court should separate us to avoid unpleasant occurrence because I can no longer stay with a woman who perpetrates such a thing."

He also mentioned that she has lost all respect for him and preferred to listen to her parents instead.

Giving his judgement, the president of the court, Chief Mukaila Balogun, said:

"Parties cease to be husband and wife henceforth, and the court registrar should serve the defendant a copy of the judgment."

Na wa o!
