A Harare woman has been ordered by a High Court judge to pay her lover's wife $8,000 for having an adulterous relationship with the man.
Pamela Farai Zimba was recently brought before Justice Judith Mushore by Corah Mahachi, 70, who was seeking $25,000 in adultery damages.
Mahachi claimed that the Zimba, was involved in an adulterous relationship with her husband, Taurayi Mungate, and their unlawful union resulted in the birth of a baby girl in March 2017.
Zimba did not defend the suit although Mahachi had served the summons personally to her.
According to court papers, prior to summons being issued, Mahachi had in a letter requested Zimba to desist from continuing the adulterous relationship with Mungate.
Mahachi and Mungate have been married for 48 years. Mahachi warned her rival that if she carried on with the illicit relationship, she would sue her for damages and attached a copy of her marriage certificate to the letter.
