A 40-year-old mother identified as Betty Mbereko has reportedly married his 23-years-old son, Farai Mbereko in Zimbabwe.
According to reports, the woman and her son claimed to be in love with each other and decided to get married considering that the mother, Betty Mbereko (from Mwenezi in Masvingo) is now six months pregnant and expecting her son’s child, and her grandchild.
Betty, who has been a widow for the past 12 years and living with her 23-years-old son Farai Mbereko, confirmed that she is six months pregnant and that she has decided it is better to “marry” her son because she does not want to marry her late husband’s young brothers, whom she says are coveting her.
The pregnant Betty stunned a village Court last week when she said the affair with her son had begun three years earlier, noting that after spending a lot of money sending Farai to school following the death of her husband, she felt she had a right to his money and no other woman was entitled to it.
According to her; “Look, I struggled alone to send my son to school and no one helped me. Now you see that my son is working and you accuse me of doing something wrong. Let me enjoy the products of my sweat,” she told the village court council.
While speaking, Farai said he was more than prepared to marry his mother and would pay off the lobola balance his father had left unpaid to his grandparents.
In his words; “I know my father died before he finished paying the bride price and I am prepared to pay it off. It is better to publicise what is happening because people should know that I am the one who made my mother pregnant. Otherwise they will accuse her of promiscuity.”
In his contribution, a local headman Nathan Muputirwa says: “We cannot allow this to happen in our village, mashura chaiwo aya, (This is a bad omen indeed). In the past they would have to be killed but today we cannot do it because we are afraid of the Police.”
