A Bulawayo couple has divorced over sex issues after being married for 52 years.
Jairos Jiri Ngorima aged 87 has parted ways with Etta Ngorima (71) after she denied him sex for 29 years.
According to B-Metro, Jiri has had no action with his wife for a straight 29 years and cannot take the stress any more.
The issue came to light when Etta who was seeking a protection order against her hubby claimed the latter was contemplating divorcing her as she had allegedly lost her urge for the bedroom game.
She said her husband was also physically and verbally abusing her while accusing her of infidelity and practising witchcraft.
"I am seeking a protection order against my husband of 52 years. This is the third time for me approaching the civil court while seeking a restraining order against him.
"He has been violent against me throughout our marriage.
"I even lost two front teeth as a result of his abusive behaviour . he is constantly abusing me while calling me a witch and a prostitute.
"He tore my Bible and has made several attempts to sell our house saying he wants to dissolve our marriage as punishment against me for refusing to share the bedroom with him" said Etta.
Jiri said she was the one who was constantly abusing him for no apparent reason.
He added that he was ‘tired' of their marriage as his wife did not care for him.
"How can someone claim she is my wife when we last shared the bedroom 29 years ago".
"Just imagine for the past 29 years we have been sleeping in separate bedrooms. By seeking a protection order against me she is trying to find a way of deserting me and I think its even a wise thing for us to dissolve our marriage.
"She is the one who is abusing me and even our grandchildren who we are staying with are afraid of her abusive behaviour. I do not abuse her as she has alleged before this court".
Magistrate Tawanda Muchemwa granted Etta the protection order.
