Zambia: “This marriage must end. This man is my husband...

A scene worthy of a B-soap opera took place on Monday at a Catholic church in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia. As images broadcast by the Zambian Observer show, a woman barged in with her children during the wedding ceremony. “Father, this marriage cannot continue. This man here is my husband. I do not understand what is happening, ”Caroline Mubita launched to the priest.

Earlier today, Abraham Muyunda told his wife that he was going to town for work. In fact, he was going to his own wedding. It was through neighbors that the mother of the family discovered the pot aux roses. She then rushed to the scene with her offspring. When he arrived, the ceremony took on the air of vaudeville: “This man is my husband. We are not divorced, or even angry, ”she assured the priest, while a guest tried to hold her back.

We can see Caroline’s husband, obviously very uncomfortable, taking his head in his hands. According to metro.co.uk, Abraham works for the tax administration and has three children. He was taken to the police station and faces up to seven years in prison if charged and convicted of polygamy. According to local media, the father’s new wife knew he was already married, and had paid for the ceremony.
