Facts of the Case

Background

The parties married in 1989 under customary law and solemnized their marriage in 1999 under the Marriages Act. They have two children. The plaintiff sought divorce alleging irretrievable breakdown due to defendant's verbal abuse, financial irresponsibility, loss of love, and adultery. The main dispute concerned the division of immovable property (Stand 458 Glen Norah A, Harare) registered in plaintiff's name but claimed by defendant as matrimonial property.
