Diana Paraffin applied for a protection order against her
husband, Jacob Magombe, at the Harare Civil Court, for constantly threatening
to evict her.
“We have been married for 10 years now and it’s unfortunate
that I couldn’t get pregnant, so now I am being tormented by him. Jacob
physically and emotionally abuses me.
“He has called his sisters to evict me from our matrimonial
home, which we built together, because I can’t give him a child.
“He refused to go for a fertility test so that we can both
establish the truth.”
She added: “I have never heard that he impregnated anyone
for the past 10 years and he could be the one with fertility problems.
“He told me to leave our house because he had found someone
else and they are planning to have children.
“He tried to convince me to sell our house and share the
money, but I refused.”
In his defence, Jacob denied all the allegations.
“I called my sisters to mediate over our differences
because my wife doesn’t wash or cook for me and we act like strangers.
“She goes out of the house for days without telling me
where she is going.”
The presiding magistrate granted the protection order in
Diana’s favour. H Metro
