A MAN from Nkulumane suburb in Bulawayo who was granted a protection order against his wife last month after she attacked him for refusing to have sex with her, yesterday divorced the woman.

Chipo Majoni, a mother of two who is accused of being violent, was dragged to the civil court by her ex-husband Wilson Ndebvudzembuzi seeking dissolution of their marriage of 12 years.

Ndebvudzembuzi told magistrate Victor Mpofu that he no longer felt safe living with his wife as she has threatened to kill him on several occasions.

He said Majoni was sexually abusive as she forced him to sleep with her.

“Your Worship, this woman forces herself on me. We’ve been on separation for more than four years. I can’t be with her because I’m now scared that maybe she can poison me,” Ndebvudzembuzi said.

“I got a protection order against her last month because she turned violent after I refused to have sex with her. She has emotionally abused me and I’m no longer able to concentrate at work.”

Majoni told the magistrate she did not want her marriage to end.

She said she still loved Ndebvudzembuzi.

Majoni told the court that her ex-husband brought a girlfriend to their matrimonial bedroom and had sex with her in her presence.

“I still love my husband very much but the problem arose after he failed to maintain our children causing me to approach the maintenance court. If he wants to divorce me I can’t force him to love me but I’m just worried about the children,” she said.

“I turned violent because he invited me to his room. At night he just went out of the house and came back with a girl.

“I was sleeping on the bed but he threw me off the bed and told me to sleep on the floor. He then went on to have sex with that woman while I was watching.”

Magistrate Mpofu granted the dissolution of marriage stating that even if Majoni admitted that she still loves Ndebvudzembuzi, there was no use in her trying to save the marriage as it had already irretrievably broken down.
