Zimbabwe: Man Gets Lobola Back. . . After Boyfriend Impregnates Wife-to-Be
A Harare man, Orient Jani, went home happy after being refunded his $2 580 bride price because the bride-to-be got pregnant from an affair with another man before the wedding.
Jani, who is based in South Africa, was shocked to learn that his would-be wife, Nataly Mucheche, had been impregnated by Obert Karombo while he was busy working towards paying full lobola pending their wedding.
Jani's would-be father-in-law, Noel Mucheche, paid back the bride price after a two-year legal battle.
Mucheche deposited $3 679,25 that includes the bride price and legal costs into the messenger of court's CBZ Bank account on December 8 this year.
In an interview, Jani said he heaved a sigh of relief after getting back his money.
"I am grateful for the victory. Justice was finally served and I commend our judicial system. We have a sound judicial system," said Jani.
"I am not yet married. I wanted to close this chapter before moving on. I am taking my time and will be very careful in future, he said.
"On September 16, 2014 the court passed a judgment that I should get my money back. My father-in-law refused to pay and only gave me $200 which in my view was a joke.
"In 2015 I tried to have their property attached but the Messenger of Court found nothing at their farm. They were trying to frustrate the process of justice."
