Court dismisses absurd marriage-wrecking case

In overturning the decision of the lower court, customary court president Mothibe Linchwe said the appelant Mothibe Raboijane had done nothing wrong by taking care of his daughter when the complainant Thebeyame Ikeleng failed to do so.

 “It is not wrong for a parent to take care of their children no matter their age or marital status. If the parents saw it fit to send their daughter for further her studies, it is not a crime as long as their intentions were for her good,” said Mothibe.
