A man's birthday in Zimbabwe took an unexpected and distressing turn when he found used condoms in his bedroom, leading to a confrontation with his wife that escalated into violence. Kenias Zimbwa shared his experience at the Harare Civil Court, alleging that his wife, Chipiwa Taruona, hired two men, including her brother—a soldier—to attack him. He claimed that the men physically assaulted him, left him bruised, and forcefully ejected him from their home, even stripping him of his clothes.
Zimbwa explained, "I came home on my birthday to find used condoms under my bed. When I confronted her, she hired bouncers to attack me. One of them was her brother, a soldier. They beat me, causing bruises, and threw me out of the house while I was naked. My wife has also attacked me with a screwdriver on several occasions."
He further alleged that his wife had been withholding intimacy from him for months while engaging in extramarital affairs. "I was devastated to learn that my wife had been involved with other men while denying me my marital rights. She doesn't cook for me, and I have been forced to sleep on the floor without a blanket. I fear for my life and hope the court will offer me protection," he stated.
In her defense, Chipiwa admitted to hiring the bouncers but claimed it was an act of retaliation, stating that Zimbwa had abused her for years. "My husband has been sexually abusive towards me for a long time. That's why I hired people to attack him," she argued.
Magistrate Meenal Narotam, who presided over the case, ruled in favor of Chipiwa, granting her a protection order. The magistrate also advised Zimbwa to file his own application for protection if he felt threatened.
