An HIV positive woman from Domboshava near Harare is demanding conjugal rights from her husband following the latter’s decision to stay away from having sexual intercourse with her six months ago, the court heard yesterday.

The woman approached Harare Civil Courts yesterday seeking a protection order against her husband whom she accused of insulting and assaulting her,but magistrate Miriam Banda dismissed the application.
“I want him to come out clear on me whether he still loves me or not because right now I have not been enjoying sex for the past six months which is a violation of my rights,” said the woman almost in tears.
“He is not meeting my conjugal rights of which when I married him I did not choose to simply stay in his house eating sadza, but to enjoy sex with him.”
But the husband told the court that he had reneged on his marital obligation because his wife had been unfaithful.
“She went for HIV tests and she was tested positive. She now engages in so many sexual activities with several men. Even our child once informed me of men who sometimes come to my house having sexual intercourse with her,” the husband claimed.
“She decided to chase away the child because he reported everything that she does.”

Asked whether the couple still shared the same bed, the husband said: “Yes, we share the same bed, but nothing further. I am not violent, neither am I abusing her in any way. She even comes home drunk and she hosts parties without my knowledge. How do you expect me to have sex with her?”
