A man has impregnated a younger sister to his third wife.

The Zimbabwean court was left in shock after Mavis Munedzimwe, married to Tabani Nyurura, revealed that her husband was in a secret romance with her younger sister whom he impregnated in a bid to spite her.

Munedzimwe told the court that he was not only in the habit of betraying her with her sister, but he also had a regular habit of taking girlfriends to his matrimonial home in her absence, reports iHarare.

She revealed that Nyurura was resolute about marrying her younger sister, as well as seeking a protection order against her.

On his part, the accused husband, Nyurura said, “I had been staying with Mavis Munedzimwe as husband and wife but she is now violent towards me. Sometime in December 2016 she hit me with a stone on the head

“On 24 April this year she came to my workplace and beat me up in front of my bosses and subordinates and tore my uniform in the process. When I went to my village she took my identification particulars, certificates and clothes and went away before she came back on 26 May and beat me up with a cooking stick and stone on the head,” said Nyurura

Munedzimwe, however, disputed the allegations noting that Nyurura was a “serial bed-hopper” who was only after using women.

“He is in the habit of exchanging women and I am his third wife. After using them (other women)  he then sought protection orders against them. What he is doing to me now, he did it to his two ex-wives. His bosses are even fed up with his extra-marital issues.”

Presiding magistrate Tinashe Tashaya ordered both parties not to verbally, physically and emotionally abuse each other, and not to evict each other from their matrimonial home, until the case is settled.
