A 41-year-old Zimbabwean woman, identified as
Moreblesing Maridza has been arrested and arraigned before a court for marrying
another man while still married to another.
Maridza was arraigned before a court on charges of bigamy which she pleaded guilty to. She however told the court that her first husband, Mr James Chivandire had become mentally challenged and was no longer capable of performing his duties as a husband prompting her to marry the other man. It was reported that Maridza’s first husband, Chivandire allegedly fell and suffered from mental illness in 2000, and in 2012 she went on to marry a second husband, David Mhuru who she started living with after their wedding.
Marizda was exposed in September after an officer at the Registrar-General’s office observed that she had two valid marriage certificates.
She was sentenced to six months in prison after being arraigned before a court. However, three months were suspended.
