“I found my husband having sex with our maid on our matrimonial bed,” wife tells court

A 37-YEAR-OLD woman narrated in the Chawama Local Court how she caught her husband having sex with the maid on her matrimonial bed.

This is in a case in which Beauty Bwalya of Kamwala South sued her husband, Kenny Mufalo, 41, for divorce. Bride price was not paid.

Beauty told the court that on June 11, 2016 she caught her husband having sex with their maid.

She said for some time they have not had peace in their matrimonial house adding that she was no longer interested in her husband.

But Mufalo who looked perplexed told the court that he still loved his wife and alleged that he was seduced by the maid whilst his wife was at work.

The couple got married in 2007 and together has two children.

Beauty said , “problems in our marriage started three months after our honey moon phase was over when Mufalo would go out for many hours”

She said in 2010 Mufalo deserted her after she lost employment without caring about the welfare of his children.

Beauty said that she was fade up living with a promiscuous man who only loved her because of money.

“I don’t even see the point living with a lazy man who only depends on my pockets for everything. I have tried to help him get a job but he has been turning down several offers I just don’t know what he wants,” she told the court.

But in his defence, Mufalo told the court that his wife was in the habit of chasing him out of the house whenever they have a misunderstanding simply because he does not have a job.

He begged for forgiveness from his wife, saying he would not manage to live without her.

Passing judgement, Magistrate Gaston Kalala granted divorced without compensation and gave the custody of children to Beauty and ordered Mufalo to be paying monthly children maintenance of K350.
