Hubby yearns for sex

A 42-YEAR-OLD Tafara man is at odds with his wife over conjugal rights.

Darlington Mupotsa applied for a protection order against his wife Shylet Mupotsa saying he is sex starved.

Shylet said:

"Your Worship, Darlington is my husband and we have been together for 12 years now.

"He is violent and abusive and whenever he comes home after work he beats me up.

"I have tried talking to him in a respectable manner but he is just rude and he said he doesn't consider women's ideas in his life.

"I am being bashed and insulted in front of our kids your Worship.

"How can I indulge in sex with him when he is abusive?"

In response, Darlington said:

"I am opposed to her application your Worship and how can I be protected from my own wife?

"She is lying I have never insulted or beaten her as she claims.

"The issue is that she is denying me sex so anofunga kuti akavingei?

"Can I go and engage in sex with outsiders whereas I have a wife at home.

"We sleep like siblings or roommates in our bedroom and on our matrimonial bed.

"Kana nemiwo, I can't take it anymore your Worship," said Darlington.

Presiding magistrate Sharon Tatenda Chipanga granted the peace order in Shylet's favour.
