For illustration purpose.

Hence, they opened a joint account to save money for their processing.

In the middle of this, the man, without the consent of the wife, went behind her to withdraw a large part of the money, which he used to play sports betting and lost everything.

His statement: “Husband and Wife had japa plans & have both been saving in a joint acct operated by both parties but withdrawals can be made by one party. Wife discovered a few days ago that Husband has withdrawn almost all the money and used it for sports betting. She is now threatening divorce.”

After the wife found out about the act, she is now threatening divorce, according to the social media users.

Many individuals have stormed the comment page of the post to share their thoughts in reaction to the step taken by the wife against her husband.

See some reactions below:
