“My husband is a violent man. He is short tempered and he throws dangerous things at me.
“He uses a hammer on me. I have been going through martial torture. It is even severe now than when we were newly married.
“Now he beats me in the presence of our children with whatever he can lay his hands on.
“I pray the court to dissolve our marriage,” she said.
