The petitioner said that the marriage was blessed with six children and that she had been responsible for their up keep since he absconded.
She said that the respondent had not contacted her since then and all efforts by her family as well as his family to find him had proved unsuccessful.
She said that she was, therefore, at the court to seek the dissolution of her marriage to the respondent. (NAN)
