“My husband is
in the habit of beating me thoroughly, forcing me to engage in sexual
intercourse,” Tinashe Nyamukondiwa of
Glen Norah told the court.
“I do not have
peace in the house; I feel abused.”
Nyamukondiwa
said she sustained injuries and reported the matter to her parents, hoping her
husband would stop the abuse.
She alleged
that Gondokondo often threatens to chase her out of their matrimonial home
whenever she says she is too tired to have sex with him. In response,
Gondokondo denied physically abusing his wife.
“As her husband
and the father of the house, I deserve my conjugal rights,” he told the court.
“My wife
refuses to sleep with me, and the only thing that comes to my mind is that she
is seeing someone else.
"She gives
excuses of being tired, and when I keep asking, she then starts to lie that I
assaulted her and that is the reason why she wanted an order.”
Harare
magistrate Meenal Narotam granted the protection order against Gondokondo and
warned him to stop verbally, physically and sexually abusing his wife. Standard
