Another murder, another funeral

Civil partnership, I don't know whether to cry, laugh or simply throw hands up in the air in despair and disgust. Fellow countrymen is this coming from Zimbabweans or some third hand is forcing it down our throats?
A legalised three or foursome in an independent African country, more so our loved Zimbabwe? What are churches and the elders saying about this proposed legalization of harlotry and adultery in the marriage institution?
If I can ask, will marriages still be necessary and will they continue to hold that Heaven high matrimonial sacredness? Bedrooms will be turned into lodges of some sort and the matrimonial bed defiled.
Domestic violence will rise with a spike in fatalities and women greatly disrespected. Whoever is advocating for such a dehumanizing proposal is not 'beating an African drum'.
The known cases of adultery will be no more since the wife can go in and out of the civil partnership with any man she fancies. Let's be who and what we are, Africans. When borrowing a leaf from other nations avoid picking or accepting toxic ones that may alter our ways of life.
A man's wife is a highly respected person that should remain so.
This civil or is it evil partnership must never see the light of day in our Marriages Act. Leave partnership to business ventures not 'John Cenna's wife'. Another murder, another funeral.
