How my husband impregnated my younger sister, wife tells court

A 48-year-old man from Lusaka, Zambia, Jackson Changwe, stunned a local court after openly admitting that he had fathered three children with his wife and also impregnated her younger sister.

Appearing before the court, Jackson confessed without hesitation, saying: “Yes indeed, it was I who fathered children with my wife and also with her sister.”

When asked to explain his actions, Jackson claimed that his wife often deserted their home whenever they quarreled, leaving him lonely. In those moments, he said, he “appointed” her younger sister to temporarily take over the role of a wife until his spouse cooled down and returned.

Even more surprising, Jackson revealed that his father-in-law had allegedly given him permission to sleep with his wife’s younger sister a claim that added another twist to the case.

However, his wife, Mirriam Namutowe, claimed that Jackson was a womaniser.

She claimed that for years, he had lied to her that he would work in Namibia, yet, he did not have an ordinary passport size photo and used the so-called Nambia trips to visit other women.

Challenged with this fact, Jackson begged for the court not to dissolve his marriage claiming he will stop sleeping with the now pregnant sister-in-law.

His pleas were not enough as the court dissolved their marriage and ordered him to pay his wife K12,000 in K500 installments.
