AFTER on six months into marriage, a Ndola woman has decided to file for divorce from her husband after finding out he has no property to his name.

Clara Nakamba 23, told the Kabushi local court that she was seeking divorce from Mathews Kashiya , 30 after her dreams of having sofa’s and a stove were not fulfilled.

She told court she was disappointed and decided to walk away from her marriage because Kashiya lied to her while in courtship about having property.

Nakamba told court that after the wedding day she discovered that her husband had no properties attached to his name like he told her before the two got married.

“My husband’s family lied that they would buy a sofa, fridge and a kitchen unit, but they have kept quiet when he married me. My husband kept quiet about the whole issue and I did not understand why and so I do not want to continue with a man who is a liar, ” she said.

She explained that her husband was a liar and she did not see a reason as to why she should continue being married to him .

Nakamba said she had lost love and interest in him because of the same property issues and wanted out of the marriage.

In his defence, Kashiya told the court that problems in their marriage started after he showed her goods he was selling and buying.

He said his wife did not understand that things he was showing her were for his business and not for their entertainment.

Kashiya said he was open from the start of their relationship and he told her the fridge and the sofa’s were for sell.

Kashiya told the court that he still loved his wife and he used to show her all the business transactions which he made.

But in submission Nakamba told the court that all she wanted was to divorce her husband.

Passing judgment Presiding senior Magistrate John Kabwe sitting with senior Magistrate Emelda Masuwa granted Divorce without compansation to the couple citing that the two have stayed on separation for a month and there was no proper reason for divorce.
