An irate husband has dragged his wife to court for a most serious incident in which he accused her of starving him of s*x for 4 months.
A Zimbabwean man has dragged his wife to court for refusing to have s*x with him for four months. The policeman now wants the court to end his marriage as he cannot cope with the punishment.
According to B-Metro, Emmanuel Chimbo, based at Hillside Police Station, said he went through a dry spell in his bedroom when his wife Portia Nkomo reduced their intimate relationship to that of “a sister and brother.”
He revealed that since January this year, he has not been intimate with his wife. He narrated his bedroom woes at the Bulawayo Civil Court where his wife sought a protection order against him claiming he was physically and verbally abusing her.
The wife however said she placed the ban because the husband was constantly beating her and accused her of infidelity.
“I am legally married to Emmanuel Chimbo. We have two children together. He has since become violent and is always insulting and beating me. The latest incident was on 21 March when he accused me of having a boyfriend.
“He destroyed our household property including a television set and a home theatre system before smashing our car windows.
He is also in the habit of bringing his girlfriends into the house and by doing this he is emotionally abusing me,” she said.
In response, Chimbo said he was the one being abused and must be the one seeking the court’s help.
“There is no need for her to seek or apply for a protection order because she is the one who is abusing me.I think the best way is for us to divorce because I am living like a bachelor.Just imagine since January this year I haven’t had s*x with her?
“She is now hiding the marriage certificate because she is opposed to the divorce.I want a divorce so that I can move on with my life.She is also in the habit of engaging with her relatives to preside over our private issues,” charged Chimbo.
However, the wife did not deny punishing the husband but said he made her take the decision after he told her that he was no longer enjoying s*x with her.
Chimbo was, however, ordered by the presiding magistrate, Sheunesu Matova not to emotionally, verbally and physically abuse the applicant.
