A 23-year-old man has clashed with his mother for rejecting his proposal to stay with a 35-year-old woman, with four children, who eloped to him last week.
Masina Magarakanya eloped to Kudzanai Jekapu after they were caught having sex.
Their story has caused a stir in the Makori Range area of Mazowe District.
Kudzanai’s mother, Tracy Jekapu, 43, has vehemently opposed the relationship, calling Masina a sex worker, and ordered him to leave her.
But, he has been defiant.
Tracy told H-Metro that her son had a weakness for older women and had previously been seduced by another older woman known for sex work.
“My son has a soft spot for women older than him and this has affected me and his father,” said Tracy. Kwandiri mwana wangu atofa zvake nekuti mudzimai waaroora muchero wemusango uye mukuru kwaari zvakanyanya.
“After confronting Kudzanai for accepting Masina, he threatened to commit suicide.
“We are appealing for help because our son has been blinded by this woman.
“He was working in Bindura and we had to relocate him after he was seduced by another older woman known for sex work there,” said Tracy.
However, Kudzanai told H-Metro that he had found love in Masina’s arms and wanted to marry her. Masina, who separated from her husband in 2007, had been living alone, near her brother’s house.
“Amai vakandirambisa nemusikana wangu wandaida vachiti ipfambi iyezvino vakuramba kutambira uyu zvakare.
“I was not ready to marry Masina although I found her love comforting. Her brother caught me in her room and forced me to take her as my wife. Out of fear, I pleaded with them for mercy and took Masina, but both my parents are not accepting her. It is my wish to see my mother accepting Masina as their daughter-in-law,” said Kudzanai.
Masina said: “I was not prepared to live with Kudzanai, but after we were caught between the sheets, we were left with no option.
“I tried to refuse, but my brother told me that Kudzanai had agreed to take me as his wife.
“My mother-in-law openly warned me about living with Kudzanai, but I have decided to ignore her since her son is a grown up man who should decide for himself.”
Neighbours had no kind words for Masina, describing her as a woman of loose morals.
