SHOCKING: 70 Year Old Defiles 17 Year Old Daughter In Law And Claims It Is Cultural Obligation

                 This is a very bizarre story, a 70-year-old Chinhoyi man defiled his 17-year-old daughter-in-law and cut incisions on her buttocks, thighs, and private parts claiming it was fulfillment of his cultural obligations.

A magistrate Never Katiyo, described the old man as "a menace to society".

"The accused is an uncivilised man who belongs to the pre-stone age and has no place in our modern society where the girl child ought to be respected," Katiyo said.

"One wonders why the accused wants this court to be lenient with him when he actually had the guts to, first of all, divorce his wife before drooling on his son's wife and bedding her. That's disgusting, and as if that was not enough, he went on to cut incisions on her buttocks, thighs, between her bre*sts and below her navel, that was very traumatic to the complainant and she will leave with it the rest of her life,"

The man then mixed some crushed herbs with the woman's blood and informed her that he had followed part of his culture which was meant to ensure her peaceful living with her husband.

After the incident the woman fled the homestead, reported the matter to her mother and eventually to the police, leading to the man's arrest.
