Africa-Press<\/a> – Zambia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Tired of being mocked for HIV-positive status by her fianc\u00e9, a woman of Matero Township has decided not to marry him.Charity Manda, 24, wondered how she would enjoy her marriage if she got married to Harrison Chirwa, 28, who was stigmatising her.<\/p>\n

She was testifying in a matter in which her sister, Esther Manda, 37, was sued by Chirwa over the refund of bride price.\u201cI used to love this man but not anymore because of the way he has been treating me from 2017 when we started going out.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think I will enjoy my marriage when I go to his house. I feel the situation will be worse than it is now when I get married to him,\u201d Charity said.She told the court that it was better that her family gave Chirwa his bride price back so that she could be in peace.<\/p>\n

In her testimony, Esther said the family felt that marriage plans between Chirwa and Charity should not go on.\u201cIt is sad that Chirwa has been mocking my sister when he at first said he was okay with her positive status.<\/p>\n

When he came to our family to announce his intentions of marrying Charity, we asked him if he was aware of her status and he said he loves her the way she is,\u201d she said.Esther said at one time his girlfriend, Precious, told Charity on phone that she should stay away from Chirwa.\u201cCharity has tried to endure maltreatment at the hands of Chirwa but not anymore.<\/p>\n

As if this is not enough, he has been telling her that different men of God he has been going to have said the two cannot get married,\u201d Esther said.In his testimony earlier, Chirwa told the court that Charity\u2019s family took back part of the bride price to his family without his knowledge.<\/p>\n

He said he still loved Charity though he at one time found her with another man.Chirwa said he also wondered why the family only took part of the bride price instead of taking the whole amount.\u201cThe family charged me K10,000 out of which I managed to pay K5,000.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, they only brought K500.I have come to court so that guidance is given on the matter,\u201d he said.In passing judgment, magistrate Kaputo Ng\u2019andwe dismissed the claim saying bride price is non-refundable, according to customary law. Magistrate Ng\u2019andwe also advised Chirwa to avoid using bad language and mocking Charity because she did not choose<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
