A Nigerian lawyer voices concerns about the escalating instances of divorce in the country, particularly emphasizing cases where husbands feel deprived in the "other room."
A social media influencer known as @Wizarab10 shares an anonymous message from a lawyer regarding divorce on the X platform.
According to the lawyer's message, a significant proportion of divorce cases—9 out of 10—are initiated by men who claim to have been sexually deprived by their wives despite being legally married.
Illustrating with an example, the lawyer reveals that one of their clients has experienced almost a year of intimacy drought with his wife.
In the message, the lawyer expresses dismay at the rising divorce rate, attributing it to a perceived change in behavior from women once they are married, especially in terms of sexual intimacy.
The lawyer questions the rationale behind marriage if one partner is unwilling to engage in regular sexual activity, citing the case of a client who has not had intimate relations with his wife since early 2023, over a year ago.
