A Trenance man in Bulawayo - Richard Moyo constantly bashes his wife of 16 years for being older than him.
Moyo's behavior was exposed in court after Petty Sobantu aged 54 sought a protection order.
She said Moyo was always taunting her saying she was now a granny.
However, Moyo's age was not indicated on court papers.
"I am customarily married to the respondent.
"He is so violent and always beating me up saying he is fixing me for being older than him.
"In the process he would also taunt me saying I am now an older woman not fit to be his wife".
Sobantu said she has since left her matrimonial home.
However, Moyo said Sobantu's children from her first marriage where the source of the problem.
He said whenever he tries to reprimand them, Sobantu would say he is abusing them.
"For example the eldest child is always bringing boyfriends at home and whenever I tried to chastise her, the applicant protected her".
