Mrs Ayo Amos married to a 72-year-old retiree, Mr Funsho Amos has told Igando Customary Court, Lagos on Tuesday that her husband has denied her sex for three years without any cogent reason for his actions.
She accused her husband of starving her of sex, therefore, seeking dissolution of her marriage with her husband.
The court president, Adeniyi Koledoye, while delivering the judgment, said it appeared that the estranged couple was tired of the marriage and all efforts to reconcile both parties had failed.
“Since both parties consented to the dissolution of their marriage, this court has no choice than to dissolve the marriage.
“The court hereby pronounces the marriage between Mrs Ayo Amos and Mr Funsho Amos dissolved today; both of you henceforth cease to be husband and wife.
“Each of you should go on his or her separate ways unmolested, the court wishes both of you well in your future endeavours,” Koledoye ruled.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports, that the 40-year-old businesswoman, Ayo, had earlier approached the court to end her nine years old marriage over sex denial.
“My husband denied me sex for good three years without any reason and he knew that I needed a child,” Ayo said.
The petitioner told the court that the respondent humiliated her because she was yet to have a child for him.
“My husband told me to pack out of his house saying that I am a barren woman and cannot bear children.

The petitioner said that in August 2018, she begged her husband to divorce her after sending her out of their matrimonial house, but he refused.
“I pleaded with him to divorce me so that I can move on with my life because age was no longer on my side, but he refused.
“He said that no man can marry me again that any woman he had slept with can never get married again, so there is no need for him to divorce me,” she said.
