Muringi (right) confronts her rival |
A FIERCE war of words which almost degenerated into an
exchange of blows erupted between an angry city married woman and her husband’s
side chick at the Mutare Magistrates’ Civil court on Wednesday this week following
the granting of a protection order in favour of the small house.
Memory Muringi teamed up with friends and cornered her
husband’s lover, who was only identified as P Mudzimwa, soon after coming out
of court where the latter had been granted a protection order against Muringi.
“We will teach you a lesson today, so that you will know
when not to mess up with other people’s husbands,” shouted one of the women
that surrounded Mudzimwa as they left the court premises.
Mudzimwa had dragged Muringi to court claiming that she was
in the habit of calling her and insulting her over the phone, accusing her of
having an affair with her husband, whom she claimed, had stopped dating a long
time ago.
“Indeed Your Worship, I was in love with her husband but that
was before I knew that he was married. I dumped him when I found out but now
Muringi just won’t stop. She calls me daily, threatening to deal with me. She
accuses me of destroying her marriage and calls non-stop, I have had enough of
her calling me a whore,” said Mudzimwa.
Muringi however, had no kind words for Mudzimwa whom she
called a husband snatcher and marriage wrecker. She justified her actions by
claiming that she was only protecting her marriage by calling Mudzimwa and
telling her to back off.
“She is a blatant liar, she is still in a relationship with
my husband even though he no longer wants her. She pesters him over the phone
day and night and he has had enough of her too. Just recently, she texted him
at 11pm. The message read ‘You are taking too long to reply, I’m sleeping now,
let’s chat tomorrow.’ “She should stop communicating with my husband,” said
Muringi.
Upon the granting of the protection order, the furious and
angry Muringi had asked the presiding magistrate, Miss Prisca Tendai Manhibi,
“Your Worship, so the law protects her even if she is having extra marital
relations with my husband only because we do not have a civil marriage? It
seems so unfair!”
Miss Manhibi ordered Muringi to confront her husband and
stop breaching Mudzimwa’s peace by calling her.
“The text message you read to us clearly shows that your
husband and this woman were communicating earlier but you fail to see that, and
want to shift all the blame to her. Confront your husband, he is the enemy in
this matter,” said Miss Manhibi.
The magistrate also explained to Muringi that since she and
her husband did not have a civil marriage, she could not do anything to stop
her husband from communicating with other women or take a second wife. Manica
