A Bishop of a known church in Lusaka’s John Laing, Zambia, has taken his wife to court after she allegedly stabbed him in the hands and head with a knife, and also pulled his manhood.

Bishop Maxwell Mwanza, 39, claimed that his wife, Cynthia Bwalya, 32, who is charged with unlawful wounding, assaulted him on November 17, 2025.

According to Zambia Observer, when the case came up before Lusaka magistrate, Kawama Mwamfuli, the accused, who appeared calm, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The matter was adjourned until January 22, 2026.

At the time the case was being reported to the police, Maxwell told investigators that on that material day, he had a difference with his spouse.

The victim said when he went to bed the same night, his wife joined him and that later around 02:00 hours, she started talking on phone with a man.

Maxwell heard her asking the man to escort her to a place called Nalusanga, where she planned to get some cattle.

He said in rage, he grabbed the mobile phone from his partner, whom he questioned for phoning another man, especially in his presence and in his house.

In response, Cynthia is alleged to have told her husband that he was “very foolish, let me show you”.

She was alleged to have picked a broomstick and tried to hit her spouse but he blocked her, before she removed the keys to the locked bedroom and opened it.

Cynthia returned to where her husband was with a knife and locked the room, before stabbing him in the hands and head.

Maxwell told the police that when he tried to escape, his wife struck him in the back, before he could flee, after picking the keys to the locked door, which had dropped from her hands.

The victim then locked his wife inside the bedroom and reported the matter to the police.

Cynthia was also accused of pulling Maxwell’s genitals.

The gender-based violence case comes barely a fortnight after a woman from Lusaka was jailed for six months for pouring hot water on her husband after an altercation.

A Zimbabwean man, Arnold Masuka, forty-year-old, has told the court he was no longer interested in his wife, Hilda Mleya(30) because she is too beautiful.

Arnold made this claim before the judge, Henry Chizvidzo.

According to Zimbabwean Live, Arnold was divorcing his wife because of her beauty which was giving him sleepless nights.

The situation got so bad that he was afraid of going to work or leaving her alone as he feared she would be snatched by other men.

The judge said it was his first time of handling such a case.

Arnold reportedly decided to use the court to separate with his wife after realising that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in Gokwe, Zimbabwe.

Speaking in Shona, he told the court his wife smiled all the time and he feared this might draw attention from other men.

Ruling on the matter, Henry Chizvidzo, requested the two families which the couple belong to, to settle the issue with the couple.

An Area Court at Centre-Igboro in Ilorin, Kwara State, has dissolved the marriage between a man, Toyin Ajibola, and his wife, Bashirat Mohammed, on the grounds of lack of money.

The presiding judge, Hammad Ajumonbi, while delivering ruling, said that even though Toyin did not want to release his wife, she still needed to move so as not to be stranded.

He, therefore, dissolved their union and granted custody of the three children produced by their marriage to the wife.

The court also ordered the woman to observe the three-month iddah (waiting) period before contracting another marriage.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Ajumonbi ordered Toyin to be responsible for the feeding of their children.

“He should have unrestricted access to the children and the mother should always make the children available any time their father requested,” the judge said.

Earlier, Bashirat had applied for divorce saying she was tired of their marriage due to lack of money and her husband’s irresponsibility.

“I want the court to grant me divorce so that I can have rest of mind,” she said.

The husband, however, told the court that he was still interested in his wife even though he was financially handicapped.

“I have been trying hard to get money to feed my family, but couldn’t.

“It is so painful that I can’t get money to visit her and the children when they left home,” he said.
