‘My hubby married a well known sex worker’

THE Mutare Civil Courts was left in roars of laughter after a Marange woman vowed that she would not give her husband his conjugal rights unless he divorced his new wife whom she termed a ‘sex worker'.

Manica Post reported that all this was revealed in court after Agnes Nyarota had appeared before Yeukai Chigodora praying for a protection order against her husband, Zebediah Gwizo, whom she claimed was violent towards her after he married a well-known sex worker as a second wife.

Nyarota described her husband, who defaulted the court session as a reckless man who had married a sex worker instead of choosing from other non sex-working females from their church and her family.

"The woman that he married was a popular sex worker and it has become difficult for me to accept him into my bedroom. I will not give him his conjugal rights since I do not know what sexually transmitted infections I will contract from him.

"I have since asked him to go for HIV testing and he said handisi muriwo unotestwa kunzwikwa kuti une salt here. (I will not be tested as I am not relish that needs tasting)," she stated.

Nyarota prayed that the court bar Gwizo from visiting her residence regardless of the fact that they were still a lawfully wedded couple.
"I vow in this court that I will never accept the sex worker as his second wife, never!," she exclaimed.

She claimed that it would have been better for their marriage if he had married someone from their church or one of her single female relatives as she had many.

Nyarota also alleged that if he had married anyone other than the sex worker, she would still be giving him his conjugal rights.

The protection order was granted to Nyarota. However, Gwizo was not barred from visiting her as he is still her husband and has a right to stay there.
