Some people are in dire search of a baby whether retarded or not, while others are aborting theirs, abandoning theirs to die after giving birth, disowning theirs because of the gender, etc. Something precious like a child, from something powerful and awesome like procreation should not be treated anyhow. Does this man even have any idea the magnitude of the sacrifice of carrying a pregnancy for nine months and that of labour?
A 51- year-old man, Mr. Lukman Agoro, was alleged to have
thrown his wife, Sadiat, out of their matrimonial home for giving birth to a
baby girl. Sadiat, who was dragged before an Agege customary court by her
husband for not allowing him to see his child, however said that Lukman had
warned her earlier that she should not venture to give birth to a baby girl if
she wanted to live under the same roof with him.
She added that her husband once vowed that he would not
be involved in the upbringing of the child and that she ( Sadiat ) would raise
the child at her parents house. The wife also informed the court that barely
three months after she gave birth to her daughter, Lukman threw her belongings
out, and claimed that he didn’t have interest in the relationship any longer.
” To my surprise, Lukman came to my parents house when my
daughter was exactly one year old claiming that he wanted to mark the little
girl’s birthday”.
She added that her daughter ran away from him, because
she didn’t know him as a father. In his submission, Lukman told the court that
his mother-in-law didn’t like his face, adding that she didn’t want her
daughter to live with him as his wife.
He therefore pleaded that the court should dissolve the
marriage and grant him custody of the girl. Meanwhile, the case was adjourned
till October 24, 2012 for further hearing.
