In WTF news today there is a Zimbabwe woman that wants to claim her son ....
A Mwenezi widow has been made pregnant by her son, whom she says she now wants to marry. Betty Mbereko, 40, who was widowed 12 years ago, has been cohabiting with her first child Farai Mbereko, 23, and says she prefers him to her late husband’s young brothers.
Now six months pregnant, Betty said she had decided that it was better to “marry” Farai because she did not want to marry her late husband’s young brothers, whom she said were coveting her. The two appeared before a village court last week and Betty stunned the villagers when she said the love affair with her son had begun three years earlier. The Weekend Tribune attended the court session where Betty poured out her love for her son, who is 17 years her junior.
She said after spending a lot of money sending Farai to school following the death of her husband, she felt she had the right to his money and no other woman was entitled to it. “Look, I strove alone to send my son to school and no one helped me. Now you see that my son is working and you are accusing me of doing something which is unheard of. Let me enjoy the products of my sweat,” she to ld the village court. Betty added that marriage was an agreement between two people and no one was supposed to interfere.
She even accused her late husband’s young brothers of wanting to victimise her son, saying they also wanted to marry her. Farai admitted that he was more than prepared to marry his mother and would pay off the lobola balance his father had left unpaid to his grandparents.
“I know my father died before he finished paying the bride price and I am prepared to pay it off,” he said.
Just Weird....
