Man declines sanctions on adulterous wife

A man (names withheld) has declined his family’s sanction imposed on his wife who was allegedly caught red-handed in an adulterous act.

The man, who hails from Ada-Irri in Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State, has kept mute over the wife’s infidelity, even after the family sought immediate dissolution of the marriage which was conducted seven years ago under the traditional rites of the land as it is believed to have its disastrous consequences.

A reliable source, on condition that he would not be named in print, disclosed that the marriage has been childless, adding that the woman (names withheld) who hails from a neighbouring community, has allegedly pleaded guilty and confessed to the crime. It was revealed that she normally sneaks out of her matrimonial home to visit the lover; especially at occasions as the husband who does bricklaying jobs, most times spends days outside his home in order to fend and provide for the family.
It was disclosed that she has been severally accused of such abominable acts as stated in the laws and customs of the land, but has constantly denied, until that fateful day when she left the house pretending to be ill and going for medical attention, unknown to her that she was being followed by one of the brother-in-law who later alerted the husband and other family members after being caught behind closed doors for hours with her secret lover. Meanwhile, the husband has refused to press charges against the wife and her lover who said to have disappeared since the incident occurred.
