Facts of the Case
Background
The parties married in 1976 under African Marriage Act and had five children. After 42 years of marriage, the plaintiff sought divorce citing irretrievable breakdown due to loss of love and no sexual relations for over 24 years. The defendant admitted breakdown but opposed property distribution claiming plaintiff denied conjugal rights and citing customary law that denies women property if they refuse sexual relations.
