Charles Bandera dragged his son-in-law, Maxmillan Kondowe,
to court, appealing against a default judgment that ordered him to return the
money after his daughter, Shumirai Bandera, committed adultery.
Maxmillan had married Shumirai at a ceremony in Karoi
sometime in March 2021, but was told he could only start living with her as his
wife after their wedding.
However, two months down the line, Maxmillan found out that
Shumirai was sexually involved with another man. He confronted her and she
confessed to the adultery in Harare.
The two’s marriage was dissolved in January 2022.
Maxmillan went on to institute customary marriage divorce
proceedings before serving summons on Kondowe his father-in-law to return his
bride price.
However, Kondowe failed to enter his appearance to defend
the action leading the court to grant a default judgment in August 2022 that
ordered him to return Maxmillan’s bride price.
Consequently, after discovering that a Messenger of Court
was deployed to execute the judgment, Kondowe applied for rescission of the
same which was countered by Maxmillan’s application to stay the execution. H
