A 33- year-old Lusaka man told the Lusaka Boma court that his wife wants to divorce him because she claims he does not sexually satisfy her.
Victor Phiri told the court that his wife Miriam Phiri 21, has been refusing to have sex with him saying he is not man enough.
“She tells me that there real men who know how to make love,” Phiri said.
He was speaking before senior court magistrate Mary Namangala in a case in which he was sued by Miriam of chawama for divorce.
They got married in 1998 and have four children.
Phiri further said that he at one time found his wife been caressed by a man in September last year but did not take any action.
‘She ran away from home the first time I caught her with a man who was caressing her.
She later changed her mind and started sleeping with her clothes on,” he said.
Phiri said his wife’s sister told him that he was not suitable for her sister and that her sister would soon leave him for another man.
In her statement earlier, Miriam told the court that she wants her marriage dissolved because her husband beats her and squizzes her neck every time they have a quarrel.
She said Phiri has been threatening her and he has no respect for his mother-in-law.
Mirriam told the court that he has been an irresponsible husband and father to their four children as he has not been providing for his family for the 12 years they have been married.
She said both his and her father are tired of sitting them together because of his irrational behaviour.
The court however dismissed the case because Phiri did not pay dowry.
