Speaking to NewsDay, Chief Mukota from Mudzi East has called for the removal of children and spousal maintenance laws because they are fuelling divorce cases and have been turned into a money making venture by some divorced women.
Said Mukota:
Since March last year I have dealt with more or less than 60 cases of maintenance and every month we deal with four to six cases. This has become a greatest home wrecker in our society, because women can now just walk in and out of marriage or get pregnant willy-nilly and claim maintenance after all. Some men are now taking care of children that might not be theirs because of this law.“I suggest that if it was possible we would remove maintenance to make sure that we restore our culture and values and women can stand up for their families.
