An Abudu High Court, Edo State, has dissolved the marriage
between a Benin based legal practitioner, Samuel Abaslim Esq and
his wife, Florence Chinwe Abaslim.
The respondent is a staffof West African Examinations Council
(WAEC), in Asaba.
The court presided over by Justice V. O. Eboreime, dissolved the
marriage which was celebrated on October 7, 1995, at Saint James
Anglican Church, Benin, on grounds that the marriage has broken
down irretrievably.
The petitioner, Samuel Abaslim, had prayed the court to dissolve
the marriage, saying that he could no longer continue to live with
the respondent, Mrs. Florence Chinwe Abaslim, because of her
behavior.
Justice Eboreime, in her judgement, stated that the unchallenged
evidence of the petitioner has proved that the marriage between the
petitioner and the respondent has indeed broken down irretrievably
under section 15, (2) (c) of the matrimonial causes Act.
In the circumstances, the court ordered the dissolution of the
marriage.
