Wife disappointed as court dissolves marriage

The couple were appearing before Justice Moses Chinhengo recently when the husband, Tsametsi Khuwe, told the court that he had had enough of his wife's tricks and wanted out of the marriage. Not so, the wife said; the marriage could still be salvaged if they moved into one family home and avoided interruptions from relatives. The couple, who were married 10 years ago, told the court that they had not shared their matrimonial bed since at least 2005.

After listening to a long argument between the two, Justice Chinhengo finally decided that the marriage had broken down. Passing judgment, Justice Chinhengo said contrary to her claim in court, the wife had "obviously" not done enough to try and save her marriage and that her petition did not seem genuine.
