A MAN of Lusaka aged 53 shed tears when he narrated before Matero Local Court, Zambia, how his wife got married to another man while she was still married to him.
According to Zambia Observer, Mulongwe said in 1993, he went to his village and married Kalubi and brought her to Lusaka where he has been working till date.
He said after she transformed into a city woman, Kalubi turned her back on him and started having extra marital affairs with different men.
“I married my wife from the village, but she has now gotten married to another man.
“Her family even collected dowry from the other man without my knowledge.
“She always spends about two weeks away from home and will lie to me that she went to visit her relatives.
“One of her relatives who felt sorry for me later let the cat out of the bag.
“I even took her lover to court for compensation for committing adultery with my wife, but the matter was dismissed,” he said.
In her statement, Kalubi denied ever getting married to another man and told the court her husband was the one who married another woman and left her alone in their matrimonial home.
“My husband is the one who has deserted our matrimony home. He has been accusing me of making him impotent and unable to function with another woman meaning that, he is a womaniser,” she said.
Giving his judgment, the magistrate, Harriet Mulenga noted that there was no marriage between the two.
“There is obviously no love between the two. The woman it is glaring is also claiming to be the head of the home thus making it difficult for your union to work.
“I will not waste our time, divorce is granted and you are free to do what you want,” Mulenga said.
