SEX IN MARRIAGE- I WILL DENY MY HUSBAND SEX UNTIL HER PAYS HIS DEBT

I will deny my husband sex until he pays his debt- Wife.This headline caught my attention , i opened it, realized its still marital issues which has been treated several times, in fact i have told myself to always refer people to earlier write-ups on divorce, marriage, separation than write again but on another though, it means the awareness is still limited to some set of people................so i have to continue until every one is duly informed as this is the reason behind me blogging. INFORMATION IS POWER. Please read below the body of the headline you read above.


A 39 years-old trader, Mrs Modinat , told an Igando Customary court in Lagos on Thursday that she will continue to deny her husband Akeem Idowu sex until he has paid the debt he is owing her ,Idowu said while responding to a suit filed by the 45 years old husband of 12 years marriage.

Akeem Idowu filed an application for dissolution of marriage  over alleged sex denial by his wife, Modinat, he  does not allow him touch her nor have sex with her and he is neither a stick nor stone to be denied his right as her husband...................CULLED FROM ANCHOR ONLINE

A marriage is an interpersonal relationship with governmental, social, or religious recognition usually intimate and SEXUAL, often created as a contract

Sex is important in marriage, inability to have sexual intercourse with one’s spouse can be used against the other who feel he/she is not being satisfied sexually in marriage either party can seek annulment on this ground. The incapacity maybe physical or psychological, and may not prevent intercourse anyone other than the spouse, but must be permanent and incurable.

Intercourse is not limited to child bearing and it is advised that the couple have sexual intercourseSection 12 of the Matrimonial Causes Act, a refusal or inability to consummate a marriage can be a ground for the marriage to be voided. The only reason why the court may not dissolve any marriage is if the party knew before marriage the other party’s inability to consummate it and still went ahead to conduct the marriage.

From time to time, research has also shown that lack of sex in marriage is a leading factor in break-ups, sex simply promotes intimacy, reassurance that both parties are wanted and needed.
Matrimonial Law recognises sexual relationship for the purpose of consummation in marriage , and it is seen as a factor to a healthy marriage and must be mutual sexual fulfilment.

Conjugal rights as a right of spouse to sexual intercourse would go beyond right access to sexual advance that would have otherwise been in appropriate , but not right to seize or besiege the other spouse.

Section 21 of the Matrimonial Causes Act, the court shall not find that a respondent has wilfully and persistently refused to consummate the marriage unless the court is satisfied that as at the commencement of hearing of the petition, the marriage has not been consummated.



The court will grant divorce if the respondent has willful denied the petitioner sex,SEX IS IMPORTANT IN MARRIAGE AND ALSO RECOGNIZED UNDER THE LAW, the respondent can then sue for the money .

Thank you.
