A Lusaka mother has begged the court to allow her a divorce after she found her husband in bed with his 17-year-old daughter. The Daily Mail reports that Nosiku Sishwashwa told Lusaka’s Matero local court that she has been married to Oliver Kalowa for ten years and has three children with him.
However, Kalowa had two other children from his previous marriage.
Sishwashwa was heavily pregnant as she told the court that the girl she caught Kalowa with is his daughter from his first marriage. She said that she walked into the girl’s bedroom and saw her husband naked with his own daughter.
This is the second time Sishwashwa has been before the court. In 2012 she sued him for marriage reconciliation after he denied her conjugal rights for 10 months. Sishwashwa complained that Kalowa was also a stingy and physically abusive man and she no longer loved him.
The divorce was granted and the court ordered Kalowa to pay Sishwashwa K700 monthly as child maintenance.
This man is a criminal. Having sex with your own child is straight up sexual abuse and it is never okay. Sex with a family member is also called incest – and it’s a crime in Zambia and in most of the world. Girls – nobody is allowed to make you have sex, for any reason, including your father, an uncle, or a respected elder. Report them. It’s a crime.
