Promiscuity has cost a woman, who was married to two men, K8 million to be paid as compensation for adultery.
Kitwe local court Number Two local court senior presiding magistrate Moffat Chandenda sitting with presiding magistrates Pumulo Mutafela and Francis Munshya ordered Tumba Chikenge of Ndola to pay the money to Getrude Nyimbili who sued her for adultery.
Passing judgement, magistrate Chandenda said it was wrong of Chikenge, who was married to Ntamile Sichembe in Ndola, to get into an affair with another man, Dennis Mumba.
Magistrate Chandenda upheld Nyimbili’s claim because Chikenge got married to Mumba without divorcing Sichembe first.
The court ordered her to make an initial payment of K600,000 to be followed by monthly installments of K500,000.
Magistrate Chandenda also implored Chikenge’s uncle, Golden Mwansa, not to compromise customary law by accepting dowry from Mumba before Sichembe’s marriage to his niece was legally dissolved.
Testifying in Chikenge’s defence, Mumba told the court that she should not be accused of committing adultery because she was his (Mumba) wife and had paid dowry to her uncle according to the Bemba customary law.
But Sichembe, testifying as Nyimbili’s witness and told the court that Chikenge was still his wife.
Meanwhile, a businessman in Mansa complained in a local court that his wife is so promiscuous that she had a boyfriend while he was courting her. He urged the court to dissolve his marriage.
Chiti Mulenga, 37, of Muchinka Site and Service said differences in the marriage started when his wife, Emmah Kasapo, did an intimate marital chore on her own, contrary to Bemba customary law that required him to do that for her.
He said the matter was reported to Kasapo’s grandmother who was equally disappointed and promised to advise her to let him take care of the responsibility.
Mulenga said one day he overheard Kasapo commending another man’s bedroom skills when they had sexual intercourse in Lusaka. He named the lover as Pascal.
He said soon afterwards Kasapo packed her personal effects, left the home and resorted to excessive beer drinking.
Mulenga said at one time he saw Kasapo kissing with her father’s driver outside the family house.
He also said she is fond of insulting him without any reasons.
He said Kasapo could no longer be his wife because her father has refunded his dowry.
Mulenga further said Kasapo threatened to kill him after being sued.
Kasapo, 32, of Chibote Site and Service told the court that the marriage should be dissolved because of numerous matrimonial disputes.
She said Pascal was just a family friend in Lusaka. She denied ever kissing her father’s driver.
She explained that her father refunded the dowry because Mulenga was calling her a prostitute and that prostitution was a family disease among the Kasapos.
Kasapo also said Mulenga threatened to kill her and that he locked her out of the house before he sued her for divorce.
Senior presiding magistrate Noah Chulu dissolved the marriage without any compensation.

I thot polygamy is reserved for southerners.so others have been covering their dirty games under the carpet.Its gud tat the Topnga bulls ar not alone in the kraal.its now ZAMBIAN BULLS & SHE GOATS at work.
Yet this story can never be in the POST.We know you thugs,thieves hopeless kaponyas wanting to call other people names yet your houses are littered with filth hiding in the name of BIASED POST. to hell….!
the bottom line all this is one thing “SEX”. fyalilowesha i cant blame any one
The first story is wired. What about Mr Mumba who proposed someone’s wife? May be I’m the one who is not good at this law. Bembas are Matriarchal such that a man is not allowed to Marry two wives since he is the one who shifts and lives with the wife’s family (in the old days). But today as the two choose where to stay, polygamy which was only for Ngonis, Tumbukas, Namwangas, Tongas, Lozis has also gone to Bembas, Chewas Nsengas, Kundas, Sengas, Bisas, and others. Any way it depends on what you call marriage.

very sensual chore…
Just never marry guys. Women are a problem these days. If there was a way feelings could be dissolved from the body :-?
Indeed this is a virgue story, Whoever the Author is, seems it wasnt written by a Journalist
Why are there never any news articles on men marrying two women? It’s hypocritical to call this adultery and yet allow polygamy for men. If Zambia is a Christian nation, then polygamy should be illegal, period. It doesn’t make sense to condone it for men and condemn it for women and cite the Bible as the reason why. And this intimate marital chore? I see no reason why a woman (or a man) can’t do it on their own, as it is their own body.
Woooooooooooooool ! If it were in Iran this womam would be stoned to death on the same day she was caught.
