A man who was
taking part in what is supposed to be a joyous ceremony, has suffered a
horrible embarrassment in the process.
The man
identified as Innocent Chitsika, was arrested after he was accused his ex-wife,
of not giving her maintenance money. Like seriously? And that could not wait?
Lol!
According to
report, Innocent claimed that his ex-wife Resinita orchestrated his arrest
particularly on the day he was tying the knot with his new wife as a way of
disrespecting him. He was arrested on allegations of maintenance default.
He raised this
complaint before a Zimbabwean civil
court magistrate, Marehwanazvo Gofa, when he applied for maintenance downward
variation. Innocent wanted the money to be varied from $300 to $80 for two
minor children.
“Your worship
I am no longer employed and I cannot afford to pay $300 per month as
maintenance for the children. I was engaged as a cross-border trader but my
travel documents are being held at the criminal court as part of my bail
conditions. I was arrested on my wedding day.
"I was
however paying maintenance and school fees for my children but I was using the
wrong channel. I was paying school fees directly to the school instead of
depositing the money into the respondent’s bank account,” said Chitsika.
He added: “As
a result she got me arrested. I think what pushed her to do so was because of
the bitterness which was caused by the fact that I was marrying another woman.
What she was not aware of was that the wedding was sponsored by my wife since
she has the money. I could not take part in the wedding preparations because I
had and still do not have money. I am praying for a downward variation to avoid
being arrested again. I do not have a source of income as it stands. What I
know is that I can afford to pay $80 as maintenance for my children.”
Husband and
wife issue, whenever there's separation, is usually dramatic if not well
managed. Sigh!
