A 26-year-old Zimbabwean woman has lost her marriage after her husband discovered that one of the couple’s two children belongs to another man.

Chongo Chola, 36, sued his wife Regina Kabwe after her boyfriend allegedly called and told him he is the father of the couple’s younger child.

Chongo told the court that Regina’s boyfriend called him in 2016 and told him that he was responsible for the pregnancy she was carrying.

When my wife told me that she was pregnant with our second child, I refused because her boyfriend had already told me he was responsible. Later on, her boyfriend started calling and claiming the same child.

Our families have sat on several occasions but they have failed to resolve the matter,” he said.

He said problems in their marriage started in 2015 when they came from Luapula.

She allegedly associated with bad company and started receiving phone calls from different men and insulted him every time he advised her.

Chongo pleaded with the court to grant the couple divorce because Kabwe has a child with another man.

The couple is now reported divorced lawfully.
