Wife divorces hubby over his “excessive and insatiable desire” for Sex
A LUSAKA housewife has begged the Chawama local court to dissolve her marriage of two years because she cannot handle her husband’s excessive sexual appetite.
Pauleen Likezo, 29, of Kamwala Township sued her husband Isaac Mwando, 37 of the same area for divorce.
The couple have been married for two years and together they no children. Bride price was not paid. The couple has been on separation for three weeks.
Pauleen told the court that problems in their marriage started on May 13, 2016 when she was on her mensural period and denied Isaac sex.
“My husband wanted to continue demanding sex despite him knowing that I was ‘ku mwezi’, I have been telling him that these are dangerous days for me to have sex because I can easily fall pregnant and I also advised him to wait a little longer; but he would start accusing me that I am a prostitute and throw all sorts of insults on me,” she told the court.
She accused Isaac of being stubborn and authoritarian man who sometimes turns violent.She said that her husband was also in the habit of sleeping out of their matrimonial house whenever he gets paid at the month end.
However, Isaac told the court that Pauleen forced him to start using sexual boosters “Mutototo” in order to stimulate his sexual pleasure.
“Imagine, she would put these sexual boosters in my tea and sometimes in my food before going to bed… but when my feelings become uncontrollable, she would refuse to have sex with me,” he said
Isaac who agreed to his wife’s plea for divorce, told the court to go ahead and dissolve their marriage adding that he felt unloved and he was tired being denied his own conjugal right.
Passing judgment, Magistrate Ganston Kalala sitting with Magistrate Mubukwanu Matakala upheld claim for divorce.
