A Glen Norah woman sustained serious injuries after her husband assaulted her following an altercation over her choice of dressing, which the husband claimed was too 'provocative'.
Appearing before Mbare magistrate Mr Stanford Mambanje, Kudakwashe Maregedze (33) of 2292 Glen Norah A stated that his wife, Sophia Jiri (25), was in the habit of wearing close that were seemingly 'too sexy' for her husband's comfort. The man is said to have professed ignorance over the origins of the eye-catching and heart-stealing clothes.
He claimed she dressed that way to seduce other men as retribution for being trapped in a polygamous marriage.Allegations are that on February 25 this year, Maregedze arrived home early in the evening but did not respond to Jiri when she greeted him.
He proceeded to another part of the house occupied by his first wife and returned shortly to the dining room used by Jiri. After some time he asked Jiri where she had got the clothes she was wearing and she replied that she had bought them herself since he had told her she should fend for herself.
This allegedly angered Maregedze who became violent and started assaulting Jiri and head-butting her. He pinned her head against the wall resulting in her sustaining injuries. Prosecutor Hilda Huni represented the State.
