Lool!!!: A 40 Year Old Woman Marries her Own 23 Year Old Son

A 40-year old woman named Mbereko has shocked her community after declaring her decision to marry her 23-year old son, Farai Mbereko. According to our source, Mrs Mberko has been a window for 12-years; she lost her love and hope, only to discover it in her only son. She is six months pregnant for her son, whom she says, is better off than her late husband’s brothers who have been coveting her.

The woman stormed her village court last week when she said the affair with her son had begun three years earlier. She said after spending a lot of money sending Farai to school following the death of her husband, she felt she had a right to his money and no other woman was entitled to it. “Look, I strove 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 said he was more than prepared to marry his mother and would pay off the ilobola balance his father had left unpaid to his grandparents.

“I know my father died before he finished paying the bride price and I am prepared to pay it off,” he said. “It is better to publicise what is happening because people should know that I am the one who made my mother pregnant.

Otherwise they will accuse her of promiscuity.” But local headman Nathan Muputirwa says: “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 warned them to immediately break off their marriage or leave his village. They chose the latter and have since left the village for an undisclosed destination.
