His Marathon Sex Sometimes Makes Me Faint -Wife Tells Court •It Can’t Kill Her

A 45-year-old trader, Muina Adelami, has asked a Lagos family court in Lagos State to dissolve  her  eight-year-old  marriage to her husband, Shuaib, a clerical officer, on the ground that his sex drive was high. “I  have managed to stay this long  in the marriage  because I thought his libido would  go down but that has not been the case. “In the eight years of our marriage, we only have a child, I had two miscarriages  as a result of  excessive sex.’’ She informed the court further that her husband liked sex too much and gave  her no breathing space. “We start having sex every night just before midnight  and this goes on till the early hours of the next day.  Many times, immediately  after he comes back  from work, he starts demanding for sex. ‘’He  will refuse to stand up even when I am crying and will start beating me whenever I complain. “There were times I did  faint, but when I came around, he would start again. “The way he’s going, he will kill me. I now look older than my age mates due to too much sex,” she said. In his defence, Shuaib admitted to having a high sex drive, but added that it was his right to made love with his wife. “I was advised to marry a younger wife but I cannot afford that, that is why I take care of her and give her everything she wants. “I have been trying to change her mind on the issue of divorce, but she is adamant. I love her and would not want to divorce her. I also know that sex can’t kill her,” he said. The case was adjourned till December 4.
