A HUSBAND of Kitwe has accused his wife of ten years of being a drunkard whose love for alcoholic beverages has resulted in her squandering their children's school fees.
Zambia Daily Mail reportedb that Modester Chanda begged the Garneton Local Court to dissolve his marriage to Fridah Chanda because she is more interested in spending money meant for their children's education and household necessities on her drinking sprees.
Modester also told senior local court magistrate Fredrick Ndhlovu that his wife also threatens to poison him.
He complained that he can no longer tolerate Fridah whom he married in 2006 because of her irresponsible behaviour. The couple has two children. Bride price was paid.
"Problems in our marriage started in 2012 when Fridah started getting home late drunk. She stopped caring for our two children because of her love for alcohol. Now, my children are out of school because she has not being paying their school fees despite the fact that I give her money," he said.
Modester claimed that Fridah refuses to change her behaviour because drinking alcohol is part of her.
"Both families have been informed about her behaviour but she seems unrepentant, in fact, she has become worse," he said.
But Fridah blamed her husband for being the cause of all their marital problems.
"His decision to have an affair with our landlord's daughter is what caused problems in our marriage. He even chased me from our matrimonial home but my parents took me back because I am pregnant," she said.
The court adjourned the matter for judgment to a later date.
