There was laughter in court as a man of Matero Township argued with the local; court Magistrate over his failure to pay damage after he impregnated a girl last year.
Lameck Jere told court that it was not deliberate that he did not pay the damage but that the girl told him that at one point she was pregnant for a police officer but the child died after birth.
“How do I pay for a person who was not a virgin traditionally I should not pay, she showed me photos when she was pregnant for the same man” said Jere.
“Your honor they charged me K 12 million but later reduced to K 6 million” said Jere.
Meanwhile senior Local court magistrate Lazarus Mwape urged the man to appeal to high courts and prove his innocence but as things were, the girl told court that he was the first man she had sex with.
Further Magistrate Mwape ordered Jere to pay K6 million as was agreed when they discussed the issue out side court.
“There is no proof here as far as the court has heard the girl says you were the first one and she had never been pregnant for any other man” said Magistrate Mwape.
However Jere promised his father in law Mr. Harry Phiri that since he was not satisfied with the judgment therefore he would take the matter further until he was satisfied.

The 1st 1 did not do de damage u did n u must not pay coz u both enjoyed de intercourse.limbiewaleufwawino
why pay the damage??? That was a mutual benefit, the girl stayed long and needed sex, the guy too, so everyone benefited. These courts!!!! To HELL with your f**k laws!!! It wasnt rape case, they agreed and both new the consequences, the girl knew the results, and she wanted that,, leave the man alone!!!
This time girls should be responsible,some do this for money

@pillar, is there any need to insult here uhu!! muli nachintu kumutima manje chachokela ku tumfweko…..shame!
twelve million why??? monga ugula chigayo. even me i can refuse. some of these traditions must be revised. when charging during marriage the charge high prices, saying that this lady is a virgin, just because she does not have kids, their is technology these days if charging is based on verginity then lets test instead of charging huge sums of money. a friend of mine was charged 10 million for marriage but the lady had an abortion before him and the womb was removed and the guy didnt know. this is obtaining money by false pretence or failure to deliver goods according to the quotation. but ba guy in this case, just pay ka 2 million then ka 1 million after 6 months.

At law -a woman without a child(never been pregnant before) is a virgin.in my view, it therefore follows that a woman in question was a virgin until proven otherwise(proper evidence i mean).
Iwe cikala after watobelamo itole lyobe ati i will not pay, just pay!
No nid of politics let the two families settle the shit.as 4 u Tombastan or sorry bantustan 2 hell wit yo shit
