A Chivhu woman who bedded and co-habitated with a man
married under Chapter 5:11 will part with RTGS$25 000 after a local magistrate
found her guilty of adultery.
Chipo Mudadi will pay RTGS$25 000 to Angela Chibasa for
having an extra-marital affair with Arnold Chibasa.
Chibasa had claimed RTGS$250 000 and Magistrate Sam
Chitumwa revised down the amount which is for both contumelia and consortium.
The court was told that Mudadi had an affair with Arnold in
2008 which resulted in the birth of a child. They then separated after Angela
got wind of the affair and confronted Mudadi.
In February, 2020 they resuscitated the affair and they
started cohabiting. On April 18, 2020, Mudadi was introduced to Chibasa by
Arnold as her junior wife at Sandra Chibasa’s homestead who is an aunt to
Arnold.
Mudadi denied all the allegations that were raised against
her and told the court that she ended the affair in 2008.
In his ruling Magistrate Chitumwa said the plaintiff and
Sandra gave enough evidence that the two had an affair. He also said that
during the course of trial Mudadi never showed remorse for what she did. Masvingo
