Woman tells court: My husband and I haven’t made love for five years, I want a divorce
Last month, a woman filed for divorce before a court citing denial of conjugal rights by her estranged husband.
She accused the estranged husband, a man from Western Kenya, of denying her conjugal rights.
Anne Nekoye Nalianya told court that her marriage with Nicodemus Vilembwa Namusei broke down irretrievably.
“My husband denies me conjugal rights. I seek divorce. It is now almost five years since we had sex with my husband,” the mother of four told the court.
Nicodemus claimed that Anne had deserted their home in 2016. He however dismissed these allegations saying that he left their matrimonial home on May 17, 2021.
Anne additionally told the court that they did not own any properties together. She borrowed a loan and bought their family home.
