What does the law call this kind of marriage again? A 40-year-old woman, Betty Mbereko is set to marry her 23-year-old son Farai Mbereko. Mbereko who hails from Mwenezi in Masvingo is already 6-months pregnant for his son.

She claims she decided it is better to “marry” her son because she does not want to marry her late husband’s younger brothers, whom she says are coveting her. Betty stunned a village court last week when she said the affair with her son had begun three years earlier.

Mbereko who has been a widow for the past 12-years 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.”

White people in monarchies used to to this back in the day. It was a way of keeping power within their family lines. Not surprised.
