Woman granted divorce from lazy, cruel husband of 24 years

Woman granted divorce from lazy, cruel husband.

The High Court has allowed a woman from Uasin Gishu County to end her 24-year marriage on grounds that her husband was cruel and lazy. She was allowed to exit the marriage after convincing High Court judge Eric Ogola that the man she married when their love blossomed had claimed to have received a calling from God and stopped working.

Identified as EJL, the woman sought divorce from her husband BKK in a petition filed in court in May 2008. A year later, the court served BKK with the petition and a hearing notice, which he declined to sign.
