A local court acquitted a boy of charges of raping his
father’s wife after the plaintiffs retracted their earlier statements.
The boy (names withheld) had been on trial following charges
by his father that he had raped his wife for nearly two years under persistent
threats.
The boy's father told
court that he learned of the rape after his sister-in-law caught his son and
his wife in an obscene act inside her bedroom.
The father said he beat up his son after confessing to
having a sexual relationship with his wife, who is nine years older than him.
Newspapers in Zimbabwe reported that the court on Tuesday
acquitted the son after both the father and his wife retracted the charges.
No one
could tell why the father decided to drop the charges against his son
