* Rashida Bashir's marriage ends in court after enduring her husband's relentless womanising and secret children.
* She faced constant abuse from his other partners.
* Court grants her custody of their two children, orders N20,000 monthly maintenance from the husband.
An Area Court in Ilorin, Kwara State, has dissolved the Islamic marriage of Rashida Bashir and Bashir Adegboye, citing the husband's persistent womanising as the breaking point.
Presiding Judge Hammed Ajumonbi ruled that a letter from the husband confirmed his agreement to the divorce, leading to the official end of their union.
The court ordered Rashida to observe the three-month iddah period per Islamic rites.
Rashida poured out her pain in court, revealing how betrayal eroded their home.
“He told me that he had two wives before I got married to him, but the most senior wife later told me that nine women had children for him,” she said as reported by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
The shocking revelation left her humiliated and fearful.
“These women call me all the time to abuse and curse me. I am tired of our relationship,” she added.
Her deepest anguish stemmed from health risks amid his unchecked infidelity.
Rashida told the court she did not want to get infected with any disease from her husband, considering the rate at which he slept with other women.
In the ruling, the judge awarded custody of the couple's two children to Rashida and mandated Bashir Adegboye to pay N20,000 monthly for their maintenance and feeding.
The husband received unrestricted access to the children at reasonable times.
