‘Every day she calls me names into my face’
A man told Naas District Court that his wife refers to him as Satan.
He made the claim before Judge Desmond Zaidan as he sought court protection.
He said he feels provoked and harassed.
“Every day she calls me names into my face," he said.
He told the court that she refers to him as an idiot, a c…, Judas and Satan.
“This is constant, “ he added.
He claimed that the woman, who was not present or represented, does this repeatedly and “this startles me.”
Judge Desmond Zaidan granted him an interim protection order and urgency the case to November 23. He said the man must attend again on that date if the order is to remain in place.
