Feeling Cheated: Many years after marriage, housewife discovers husband has 2 other wives

Getting a divorce from her husband might be the only saving factor for a woman who feel cheated in her marriage.

A housewife Mautin Idowu, has been left feeling cheated after discovering that her husband, Michael, had married two other wives before meeting her.

As a result, she has asked the Badagry Customary Court, Lagos to dissolve their marriage after recovering from the trauma.

 

Getting a divorce seems of great importance to Idowu so as to prevent her from committing suicide. Punch News gathered THIS in a report.

“I was in 300-level at the Lagos State University Distance  Learning Programme when I met Michael Idowu  in 2012.

“He was a teacher and I was teaching with my National Certificate in Education then; he proposed to me but I rejected because he was older than me.

“Michael told me that his wife divorced him with two sons and out of pity, I fell in love with him.

“Few months after, he took me to meet his family. When I got pregnant in 2013, we got married and he paid my dowry.

“But when I was seven months pregnant, I discovered that my husband had two wives and six children which he hid from me during our courtship.

“He lied to me, my world broke down but I survived the trauma.

"Michael kept me in a two-room apartment in a bushy area, but I still managed to have my baby," the complainant told the court in a Punch News report.
