Banda told the court that when she left the village, she confronted her husband about his alleged affair with her mother and she got a shock of her life when her spouse admitted impregnating her [mother] and asked for forgiveness.
And Kalobo admitted having impregnated his mother in-law and told the court that his wife was a marketeer who always left home in the morning and only returned at night.
He told the court that his mother in-law used to do everything for him at home while his wife was away selling at the market and that he ended up having a secret sexual affair with her until she conceived.
Magistrate Ndhlovu said it was a taboo for Kalobo to sleep with his mother-in-law which resulted into having a child.
He granted the two divorce adding that Banda was never at home to take care of her husband.
