A Bulawyo High Court in Zimbabwe has ordered a man to pay the sum of $15,000 in damages to his former fiancee for allegedly breaking her virginity and later dumping her for another woman.
The heart-broken woman, Chido Fortune Mutonhori, is suing her ex-lover, Tafadzwa Hwehwe, for emotional damage and private property destruction after he deflowered her, got her pregnant and breached his promise to marry her.
Mutonhori said she felt embarrassed, humiliated and emotionally wreck by Hwehwe's actions and he must pay for it.
Hear her:
"After deflowering and impregnating me, Hwehwe has taken away my pride as a woman and left me embarrassed and humiliated before my own people, the community of Shurugwi, my peers and the entire Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) church in Shurugwi.
In breach of the agreement, defendant has failed and or neglected to marry me after seducing me for 15 months resulting in me getting pregnant."
She said she was engaged to Hwehwe in May 2013 through the facilitation of the Shurugwi Seventh Day Adventist church elders. Mutonhori said contemplating marriage, she then moved in with Hwehwe in January 2014.
