A FORMER policeman says he has become the punching bag of his family and whenever his wife attacks her all his children join the assault.
Charles Chamunorwa slept comfortably last night after he was granted a protection order at the Harare Civil Court.
He had accused his wife, Idikai Chamunorwa, and his children, of ganging up in attacking him.
“I always had the intention to marry many wives but Idikai tricked me into signing the one-man-one-wife Marriages Act referred to then as Chapter 5.11,” Chamunorwa told magistrate Judith Taruvinga.
“I just want to be left alone and be able to choose peace by marrying my new wife.
“She wants a divorce and I am ready for that but she should stop teaming up with the children to assault me.”
He added;
“Yes, I was a policeman when we married and did not understand the Act she made me sign up for, I had indicated to her officially before we married that I would marry many wives.”
Idikai denied the allegations saying she has never assaulted her husband.
“I have never assaulted him, he should just divorce me and marry whoever he wishes after our separation,” she said.
