CHIEF Makoni has ordered a polygamous man to return a 16-year-old Form Four learner who was surrendered to him by her parents after he had slept with her.
Munyangarirwa who is my neighbour slept with my daughter early this year and I discovered it. My daughter eloped to him and stopped going to school. I am in pain because I had paid for her fees and examination fees, but she did not sit for the exams.
“My neighbour who already has another wife started abusing my daughter. To further compound the whole situation, Munyangarirwa went on to take a third wife. I reported the matter to this court, and he begged me to have an out of court settlement.
The traditional leader further ordered the father of the teenager, Shupikai Mangoma to use the US$255 that was paid by the polygamist, Obvious Munyangarirwa as part of damages as school fees for the girl.
He ordered Mangoma to re-enroll the teenager in school so that she sits for her Ordinary Level examinations since she is not pregnant.
Mangoma had dragged his neighbour, Munyangarirwa to the community court, demanding lobola for his daughter he was staying with.
