"Feyisara has refused that I have rest of mind. My wife turns every discussion we hold into an argument and would go wild. "She is violent and always ready to fight. We fight almost every day. She fights me with a knife. She will draw the knife at me and dare that I raise my hand against her. "Our frequent fights have brought enmity into our families, and most especially between our mothers. "My wife daily humiliates me as a result of her undignified behaviour. I have reached the end of my tether and I want divorce."
