A city woman says she is not living in peace in her home as her husband frequently chases her away whenever he feels like it.
Mercy said:
“Your worship, my husband is a prophet but he displays a character that is ungodly.
“He assaults me whenever he feels like I have wronged him and he also verbally abuses me calling me nasty names.
“Whenever I try to fight back or when I try to stand up for myself he chases me away from his home.
“He knows that I have nowhere to go that’s why he chases me away.
“I just want to live in peace in my house and I don’t want to be abused.”
In response Luke said:
“Your Worship, she is lying I don’t abuse her; like she claims I am a prophet of the Lord and I live by God’s commandments.
“The bible states that a wife should be submissive to her husband and whenever she challenges what I say as the head of the house I punish her for it.
“I just tell her to go and find a husband she can obey.”
Presiding magistrate Sharon Tatenda Chipanga granted Mercy the peace order and ordered Luke not to chase her away from their matrimonial home. H-Metro
