“He has shattered my peace and dignity,” Kaguva began, her voice trembling with a mix of anger and sorrow.
“Not only did he bring his mistress into our home under the guise of a maid, but he also had the audacity to sleep with her on our matrimonial bed. This is a violation I cannot tolerate.”
Kaguva’s ordeal didn’t end with her husband’s infidelity. She also endured physical violence that culminated in a brutal assault.
“He recently be@t me with a wooden stick so severely that I had to be hospitalised,” she continued, showing visible signs of the trauma she had endured. The room fell silent as the severity of her plight sank in.
Soga, standing unflinchingly before the magistrate, did not deny the allegations. However, he attempted to deflect the blame by portraying the @buse as mutual. “We were fighting. It’s not just me; she also attacked me,” he argued, his voice devoid of remorse.
Despite his attempts to downplay his actions, the evidence of Kaguva’s suffering was overwhelming. Presiding Magistrate, after hearing the testimonies, granted the peace order in Kaguva’s favor, providing her with a semblance of relief amidst the turmoil.
The court’s decision was a small victory for Kaguva in her ongoing battle for dignity and safety. Outside the courtroom, she reflected on the ordeal. “I married him for love, and I trusted him,” she said, her eyes reflecting the pain of betrayal. “But his actions have shown me a side of him I never knew existed. My only hope now is to find peace and rebuild my life.”
In the midst of the scandal, the question remains: how does a relationship recover from such a profound breach of trust? For Kaguva, the, the path ahead is uncertain, but her resolve to seek justice and peace is unwavering.
