Man marries his 40-year-old mother as she is expecting his child

- A woman and her son decided to get
married
- She is expecting his child
- They had to leave their village because
the council did not approve of this
union
A village in Zambia has encountered a
stunning situation which made a
mother and her son leave their
hometown for an unknown location.
It turns out they had decided to get
married, and she is expecting his
child… her grandchild?
40-years old Mbereko, who widowed
12 years ago, and 23-year-old Farai
Mbereko claim they are in love with
each other, and when she got
pregnant, they decided take their
relationship to the next level.
Six months into her pregnancy,
Mbereko decided it was better to
“marry” her son because she does not
want to marry her late husband’s
other brothers, who have been
looking to get her as a wife.

Six months into her pregnancy,
Mbereko decided it was better to
“marry” her son because she does not
want to marry her late husband’s
other brothers, who have been
looking to get her as a wife.
The village court was completely
stunned last week after hearing about
Mbereko’s affair with her son, which
began three years ago. She claims she
spent a lot of money sending Farai to
school, and that she now feels she has
a right to his money, and not another
woman.
“Look, I struggled alone to send my son to
school and no one helped me. Now you see
that my son is working and you accuse me
of doing something wrong. Let me enjoy
the products of my sweat,” she told the
village court council.

Farai was more than willing to marry
his mother, and even told his
mother’s family he was going to pay
off part of the lobola his father still
owed them when he passed away. “I
know my father died before he finished
paying the bride price and I am prepared
to pay it off,” he said.
The man adds that “it is better to
publicize what is happening because people
should know that I am the one who made
my mother pregnant. Otherwise they will
accuse her of promiscuity.”
Local headman Nathan Muputirwa
was not that agreeable with this
arrangement. “We cannot allow this to
happen in our village, mashura chaiwo
aya, (This is a bad omen indeed). In the
past they would have to be killed but today
we cannot do it because we are afraid of
the police,” he said, warning the couple
to immediately break off their
marriage or leave his village, which
they did.
