Husband sacks 40-yr-old wife for failing to terminate six month-old pregnancy
A 40-year-old housewife, Amudalat Afolabi, has told an Ilorin Area Court that her husband, Tajudeen, sent her out because she refused to terminate a six month-old pregnancy.
Amudalat made this known when she testified in a divorce petition filed against her by Tajudeen in Ilorin on Thursday.
“My husband sent me away from our matrimonial home because I refused to terminate a six month-old pregnancy,” she said.
Amadalat did not oppose the dissolution of the 20-year-old marriage, but described Tajudeen as “an irresponsible man”.
