It was our pastor who asked us to get married —Husband •Dissolve the marriage in our own interest —Wife

 A man, Felix Anyanwu, has approached an Ejigbo customary court sitting in Lagos State for the dissolution of his marriage to his wife, Angela.

Anyanwu told the court that he and his wife, Angela, were members of the same church before they got married but that he did not recognise her until one Sunday during a church service.

He said their pastor asked both of them to stand up before the congregation and prophesied to them that God told him that they were husband and wife and they should immediately start preparations for wedding.

Both of them believed their pastor and embarked on both traditional and church wedding which was successful. Anyanwu said after the wedding, they discovered that they were strange bedfellows who have no feelings for each other.

He said they managed to stay together for three years because Angela became pregnant and had a child.

 He said after nursing their baby for three years, she packed her property and left with the child and since then she did not return to her matrimonial home. Meanwhile, he did not look for her either.Anyanwu asked the court to dissolve the marriage and allow Angela to take custody of the child and grant him access to the child only.

Angela in her response, did not object to the dissolution of the marriage and said it was better it was dissolved in their own interest.President of the court, Mrs. Banjoko Salewa adjourned the matter for counselling and hearing.
