Swaziland Bans Divorces

King Mswati III says that there is no divorce in a marriage conducted under Swazi Law and Custom.

He says there is no law on heaven or earth that allows for divorce in customary  marriage. He said only  death can separate people in a marriage.

He said even if a woman left her husband she would be forced to come back to mourn him when he died.

The King said once a woman was smeared with red ochre (libovu), that meant the person was now a wife and therefore cannot be smeared with red ochre again by another family.Red ochre is a substance that a woman is smeared with during a ceremony known as kuteka, which is one of the early stages in customary marriage.

The King essentially says that you’re stuck with that person even if he is the most horrible human being ever.

Expect the reaction soon.
