MATERO Local Court has heard how a woman from Chisamba sexually starved her husband for 1460 after he failed to pay her K3,000 she charged him for having a child out of wedlock.
Sophia Kwale, 32, a teacher by profession, said according to her tradition, as admission of guilt for having a child, her husband, Samuel Chongo, 38, was supposed to pay her the money commonly known as ‘ndapusa’ (admission of guilty).
“In my tradition, when a man has a child outside wedlock, he is supposed to apologise by paying ndapusa. This can be in money or material form. I asked him to pay me a K3,000 only or he wasn’t going to have sex with me,” she said.
Kwale said her husband later refused to pay ndapusa but wanted to have sex with her, so she charged him K500 which he paid instantly before she allowed him to engage in the act.
“I charged him K500 to make love with me and he paid it instantly; this was only last month. Before that, we last had sex in 2021. I didn’t even enjoy the sex because it was forced,” she said.
