However, her husband Sikalumbi informed the court that his wife had moved out of their matrimonial home with all household goods leaving behind four children, the youngest aged three.

He said her claims were false because she had deserted him after he found out about her extra marital affairs.

Magistrate Mulenga granted the divorce and gave the man custody of the children because their mother abandoned them.

The court also ordered Bwalya to pay monthly child maintenance of K1, 000 to her ex-husband.
