Man hires stranger to pose as his wife while he filed for divorce
Legit.ng came across a very touching story about a woman who was divorced by her husband even though she had no idea.
A woman is currently facing what could easily be the worst situation of her life after she discovered her husband's attempt to divorce her.
According to a post shared on Facebook by popular human rights lawyer, Emeka Ugwuonye, the unnamed woman discovered that her husband had already gone to court in an attempt to divorce her.
Her husband had hired a lady to impersonate her while he got the court to sign a divorce certificate on their behalf.

Sharing the story, Emeka wrote:
"One morning, the woman was trying to tidy up her husband's desk in his home office, as routine chore. She saw a yellow document with court stamps on it. What surprised her was that her name and her husband's name were written on the document as Mrs. versus Mr. As she looked further she saw the word "ORDER" boldly written on it.
It was a divorce certificate, her own divorce certificate. She discovered that according to the certificate, the wife (that is her) had gone to court to ask for divorce from her husband and the court granted the divorce and stated: "The marriage between Mr and Mrs, is hereby dissolved." This woman nearly fainted.
She snapped the certificate with her phone camera. Let's say it turned out that this man had reasons to prove that he is no longer married to this woman. He was up to something sinister. He needed a divorce certificate. He planned with another woman for that woman to answer the name of his wife. They all filed the paper without the real wife knowing.

When the case came up in court, the woman, impersonating the wife, stood up and answered the wife. And the man was there and he answered for himself. The Court asked the woman if she really wanted divorce, and she said yes. They asked the man what he wanted and he said he too wanted divorce. They couple have three children - 2 girls and 1 boy. The Court asked the woman what she wanted to happen to the children, and she said the children should be given to the man that she did not want to see them again. The judge asked her if she was sure of that and she said yes. The court granted divorce and awarded custody of the children to the man. Shakena!
This woman is looking at this divorce certificate. She knew she never filed any. She knew she never went to court. She knew that her husband never even mentioned to her that he wanted divorce. This is happening now in Nigeria and DPA is looking into it.

What will you do if this was your case? Before you react, note that the Nigerian courts do not have cameras and cannot tell whether this woman was the one that came to the court or not. The judge sees many people and after three months, the judge cannot identify the woman that appeared before him. So, it is not easy to show that it was not this woman that came to court on that date.
What would you do if you found yourself in this position?
