http://ascology.com/news/index.php?news=20110 TALKING POINT, - According to recent reports in a local Zimbabwean Newspaper that a court ordered a 38 year-old man to honour the 12 years marital vow he made to his wife who has been diagnosed with the HIV disease. Authorities say the woman (whose name and that of his husband are being kept confidential to protect their privacy) through his lawyer asked the court to dishonour the divorce suit filed by the husband last November as a result of her health developments. However, the court not only chose to dishonour the divorce suit filed by the husband but also ordered the man to 'put an end to the separated life' he has been living away from the wife; a ruling which will also make it a compulsion for him to leave with his health-challenged wife under same roof. Although it is not determined if the man has been infected with the disease himself, it was reported the man had been separated from the infected woman for more than three (3) years before he finally filed for divorce. Touching stories from The Avert Organisation and One Tough Pirate revealed that relatives and families of those living with HIV/AIDS diseases have the phobia of being infected - the phobia itself being the main reason for reluctance and disinclination to live with them. Here's our question for you, while it should be agreed and uncontroversial that those living with life-threatening diseases such as HIV/AIDS are meant to be cared for, loved and not discriminated; Is the compulsion of living with them (as illustrated in this story) acceptable and legally fair? Your opinions! http://ascology.com/news/index.php?news=20110 |

Eeya. Well how did she get infected? I don't think u can or should force him to stay. I read of a man with HIV who infected his wife with a needle while she was asleep so she wouldn't leave him. Honestly if I were the man in this case I go flee zimbabwe out of fear |
