Anna Phiri told senior court magistrates Robert Zulu and George Kaoma that her husband, Frederick Mwanza prefers using his fingers than the traditional way of making love with his manhood.
“I get irritated and uncomfortable with my husband’s behaviour of inserting his fingers in my womanhood when making love. This is the reason why I want to divorce him because I can’t take it anymore,” Phiri said.
But Mwanza who, has been on separation with his wife for five years told the court that he enjoyed touching his wife in that despicable manner.
In passing jugement, the court dissolved their marriage saying they have stayed on separation for a long time.
This is in a case in which Phiri sued Mwanza for divorce. They got married in 1999 and have two children together.
Phiri told the court that problems in their marriage started two weeks after they got married in 1999 as a result of her husband’s irrational behavior who she said used to bring his girlfriend in their matrimonial home.
She said Mwanza is also a violent man, who had at one time tied a rope on her neck after a quarrel.
She added that she later unearthed an axe he was hiding under the bed, which she suspects he wanted to use to kill her.
In his defence, Mwanza told the court that problems in their marriage started when his wife discovered that he had a girlfriend who was heavily pregnant at the same time with her.
“I told my wife that I impregnated my former girlfriend at the time I married her. She has never trusted me since then and she accuses me of having extra marital affairs every time I make a move,” he said.
Mwanza said he suspects his wife has a boyfriend she wants to marry her.
He said their endless marital differences have made them separate many times with the latest being, where they stayed apart for two years.
“I know that she wants to leave me because she has a man who wants to marry her,” Mwanza said.
