A Bulawayo woman was assaulted with a knobkerrie by her husband after seduced him and interrupted him while reading the bible in bed at night.
Clement Ndlovu aged 55, had dimmed the light in his bedroom to read the bible but his wife Consilia (51) had other ideas.
She threw herself on top of her hubby forcing him to join her in bed.
"I am married to Clement Ndlovu under chapter 37 and it still subsists. Clement is a violent husband and has beaten me on several occasions, the latest being on July 25 after a misunderstanding at home.
"Whenever we are discussing family issues he resorts to violence. The other day he was reading the Bible and I asked him to switch off the lights and he refused before he turned violent.
"He then armed himself with a knobkerrie and assaulted me" she told the court.
She produced the weapon in court.
However, Clement disputed the claims.
"On the day she claims I assaulted her with a knobkerrie what happened is that I was reading the Bible and she deliberately threw herself on me while forcing me to join her in bed.
"This subsequently angered me and when I took the knobkerrie, my intention was not to assault her with it but I just used it to scare her away so that she stops disturbing me form reading the Bible".
The magistrate, Evylene Mashavakure advised the couple to seek counseling.
