The Court President, Mr Adeniyi Koledoye, held that although the respondent wanted the marriage sustained, his wife, Adenike, insisted on divorce.
He said that the court lacked the power to force a willing husband on an unwilling wife.
“The court cannot prevail on the petitioner, Adenike, to rescind her decision to quit the marriage.

“It is crystal that the marriage between the couple has broken down irretrievably, and there is nothing the court can do to sustain it,’’ he said.
Adenike had sought divorce, saying that, Tosin, her husband of seven years, regularly told her that she was not good in bed.
She stated that Tosin was adulterous and that he complains: “I am not hot in bed.
“I know he was using that as an excuse for his infidelity,” the mother of two said.
“I cannot have access to his phone because he coded it so that I will not know about his illicit affair with other women,” she told the court.
She also accused Tosin, a teacher, of battering her.
“My husband beats me up at any slightest provocation; he started beating me during courtship but I endured, thinking he would stop.
“He beats me even during pregnancy which always landed me in the hospital,” she said.
The petitioner added that Tosin was jealous.
“He is always accusing me of dating any man he sees me with,’’ Adenike said, adding that he threatened to kill her and might carry out the threat.
Responding, Tosin admitted beating Adenike but blamed it on his temperament.
He also accused Adenike of infidelity.
The court granted the custody of the two children of the marriage to Adenike, and ordered Tosin to be paying N5, 000 monthly to her for each of the children’s feeding.
It also ordered Tosin to be responsible for the children’s education.
