An estranged woman, who is tormented by her husband, has approached Western Commonage Civil Court to seek a peace order against her husband who is in the habit of visiting her in the middle of the night and verbally attacking her while demanding to have se_x with her.

Rejoice Mayuni said she had to flee her matrimonial home because her husband Witness Dube had been very violent to her.

In a bid to find peace Rejoice said she returned home to stay with her parents.

Sadly, her husband would visit her during the night and shout obscenities at her.

He would not stop at that as he would demand to have se_x with her.

Rejoice said her husband would order her to return to their matrimonial home.

He would then assault and insult her in front of their children. Rejoice said that traumatises their children and badly affected their performance at school.

In her founding affidavit Rejoice said: “My husband Witness Dube is very violent because he would assault me for no apparent reason and he would insult me in the presence of our children. Due to that I had to desert him with our children to stay with my parents.

“He comes to my parents’ home in the middle of the night and demands to see me after which he would demand to have se_x with me saying I’m still his wife.

“I would deny him se_x, after that he would get angry and assault me while shouting obscenities at me. And he does not respect my parents because he shouts obscenities at me in their presence,” she said.

The presiding magistrate Jeconia Prince Ncube granted Rejoice a peace order which bars Witness from visiting Rejoice at her parents’ home and physically and verbally abusing her.
