“The petitioner has also waved the N25,000 bride price he paid. Hence the respondent has no need to return it,” Labaran said.
JUNGLETALKER gathered that Christy consented to the breaking of the union on grounds that he has also lost interest in the marriage.
“I am exhausted in this marriage. I have tried my best to have children but all attempts have failed.
“I have gone to different places, taken different concoctions, all to no avail,” she said.
