been customarily married for the past 20 years. We have had many altercations this year and on August 2 this year, I was surprised when she took me to the Rotten Row Courts.
“It was in the courts that I found out she had arranged the wedding secretly when she knew I had a second wife with whom I have a child,” Matinya said. Problems arose when Madzokere learnt that he had a second wife claiming that she wanted to protect their property.
“She started beating me up and coming to my workplace where she harasses me in front of my workmates and employer. Right now she threatens me with death and shouts at me in the middle of the night whenever she wakes up.”
Matinya accused his wife of spitting on his face while forcing his daughter to text unspecified threats. Magistrate Ms Rekinah Dzikiti asked Madzorere if she had arranged the wedding without Matinya’s knowledge. Madzorere denied the claims saying the couple organised the marriage.
Ms Dzikiti granted the couple a reciprocal peace order.
