A 25-year-old house wife, Ruqayya Mukhtar, on Thursday, told a Shari’a court sitting at Rigasa, Kaduna, that her husband had not slept with her for two years.
The complainant, who prayed court to dissolve her marriage to one Naziru Hamza, also complained that her husband assaulted and insulted her.
But the defendant denies all the allegations, saying he tried his best to satisfy his wife sexually.
“Since I go out to seek for daily bread, I sometimes come home late and tired, but my wife doesn’t understand; she always demands intimacy.
“I oblige many times and sometimes beg her to be patient till the next morning; and I don’t beat her,” he said.
The Judge, Anass Khalifa, asked the complainant if she had witnesses and she said yes.
He adjourned the matter to September 5 for the complainant to present her witnesses.
