THE Livingstone local court has withdrawn child custody from a 29-year-old woman after she dumped her children at her former husband’s home and deserted them.
This is in a case where Precisely Mwiya, 39, sued Brenda Siyumbwe for custody of the two children she dumped at his house.Mwiya told the court that he wants full custody of the children.
He explained that he married Siyumbwe in 2017 after paying K3,500 out of the K8,500 he was charged as dowry.
“We later got divorced in court because she was fond of deserting our home. In February, she dumped the children at my house without any explanation.
And at the time, the children were sick and had been in hospital,” he said.
Mwiya said he was not informed that they were at the hospital by his wife or her relatives..https://enews.daily-mail.co.zm/welcome/home
