Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff and defendant were married for approximately 17 years, initially under customary law in 1992 and later under the Marriages Act in 2000. The plaintiff sued for divorce and sought a 90% share of the matrimonial property, arguing he made the sole financial contribution. The defendant counter-claimed for a 40% share, citing her indirect contributions and the property being registered in their joint names.
