40 Year Old Woman Who Is Pregnant For Her Son, Declares To Marry Him
Wow! A 40 year old Zimbabwean
woman Betty Mbereko who was
widowed 12 years ago, has been
sleeping with her 23 year old first
child, Farai Mbereko . She confirms
that she is six months pregnant and
that she has decided it is better to
“marry” her son because she does not want to marry her late husband’s
young brothers, whom she says are
coveting her.
Betty stunned a village court last week when she said the affair with her son had begun three years earlier. She said
after spending a lot of money sending Farai to school following the death of her husband, she felt she had a right to his money and no other woman was entitled to it.
“Look, I strove alone to send my
son to school and no one helped
me. Now you see that my son is
working and you accuse me of
doing something wrong. Let me
enjoy the products of my sweat,”
she told the village court.
Farai said he was more than prepared to marry his mother and would pay off the ilobola balance his father had left unpaid to his grandparents.
“I know my father died before he finished paying the bride price and I am prepared to pay it off,”
he said.
“It is better to publicise what is
happening because people should
know that I am the one who
made my mother pregnant.
Otherwise they will accuse her of
promiscuity.”
But local headman Nathan Muputirwa says:
“We cannot allow this to happen
in our village, mashura chaiwo
aya, (This is a bad omen indeed).
In the past they would have to be
killed but today we cannot do it
because we are afraid of the
police.”
He warned them to break off their
marriage or leave his village.They
chose the latter and have left the
village for an unknown destination
