Africa-Press<\/a> – Zambia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>FROM THE COURTS: WHEN SHAVING BECAME A DIVORCE ISSUE A MAN of Kitwe abandoned his wife for five years after she stopped shaving his private parts, Ganerton Local Court has heard. Joseph Kasito, 40, told the court that he had to go and look for another woman who could execute her duties without being forced.<\/p>\n

Kasito was testifying in a matter his wife, Agnes Kandela, sued him for divorce on grounds that they have been on separation for about five years.They got married in 2003 and they have four children together.Kasito told the court that all was well when they got married, but problems between them started in 2016 after his wife started refusing to shave his pubic hair.<\/p>\n

Ganerton senior presiding magistrate Mutono Banda granted the couple divorce after concluding that the two no longer loved each other.Magistrate Banda ordered Kasito to compensate his wife with K15,000 in K200 monthly installments and K300 for child mainten<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
