However, the husband pleaded for reconciliation, asking the court to give him another chance to make things right.
According to the husband, the argument began when he attempted to prevent his wife from attending a DJ party, claiming such gatherings were inappropriate.
“I told her not to go because these parties lead to immoral behavior," he said. "
As her husband, I have the right to stop her from going to places that could ruin our marriage."
Wife disputes husband's version of story
However, the wife offered a different account, insisting she was only planning to attend a family wedding to get food.
"We hadn’t eaten in over a day, I was going to the wedding to bring back food for both of us. He misunderstood and thought I was going to a DJ party,” she explained.
The dispute quickly escalated into physical violence. The husband alleged that his wife bit him first, leaving him with no choice but to retaliate.
“She attacked me, so I defended myself," he claimed.
"I didn’t mean to hurt her badly, but she left me with no option."
The wife, however, denied initiating the violence.
She said:
"He was the one who grabbed me and bit my cheeks, I was only trying to explain myself, but he wouldn’t listen."
During the court hearing, the wife firmly stated that she would not return to her husband’s home, citing fear and mistreatment.
“I can’t go back to that house after what he did to me," she said.
However, the husband pleaded for reconciliation, asking the court to give him another chance to make things right.
The court agreed to adjourn the case to June 5th to allow further deliberation and the possibility of mediation.
