A Grade 1 Area Court sitting in Aso Pada, Mararaba, Nasarawa State, yesterday, dissolved a two year-old marriage between Choji, 51, and Dinatu Chung, 39, due to the wife's excessive alcohol consumption.
.
The Presiding Judge, Mr. Albert Maga, dissolved the marriage after the two told the judge that they had yet to settle their differences.
.
Maga in his ruling, dissolved the marriage and ordered Choji to collect a divorce certificate from the court, and to pay Dinatu N4,500 for transportation.
.
He ruled: "Since the husband has insisted that the divorce be granted and the respondent did not object, I order that Choji pays Dinatu N4,500 transport money.
.
"The marriage is hereby dissolved; the petitioner should go to the registrar's office and get a divorce certificate."
.
On May 14, Choji had filed a divorce suit before the court, seeking the dissolution of the marriage, due to his wife's drinking habit.
.
He had said: "She drinks a lot of different types of alcohol, and when she does, she starts misbehaving with different men.
.
"There was a time I sent her back to our village to correct her attitude, but she ran back to me in Aso Pada.
.
"I cannot continue to stay with her. I am sick and tired of her excessive alcohol intake."
Alcohol is always causing problems so I'm not surprised!
