Drama unfolded at a Kadhi court in Kericho when a woman sensationally revealed that her husband chose Muguka over her on their wedding night, leaving her feeling abandoned and humiliated. The distraught woman, in her desperate plea for divorce, narrated how her husband’s obsession with the stimulant had turned their marriage into a nightmare.
According to her testimony, the man spent the night of their wedding chewing Muguka with his friends, ignoring his new bride. “He neglected me on the most important night of our lives. Instead of being with me, he was lost in his world of Muguka,” she told the court.
The woman further described how her husband’s addiction rendered him incapable of performing his marital duties, alleging that their intimacy had become non-existent. “He has completely neglected his role as a husband. Muguka has replaced me in his life,” she lamented.
Despite the shocking revelations, the Kadhi denied her divorce plea, stating that the issues raised did not meet the threshold for dissolving the union. Instead, the court advised the couple to seek counseling and work through their challenges.
The ruling has sparked an uproar, with some questioning whether Muguka is tearing apart families in silence. Others accused the court of dismissing the emotional toll on the woman, who left the courtroom visibly devastated.
As news of the case spreads, the community is abuzz with heated debates on the impact of Muguka addiction, with many urging couples to address such issues before walking down the aisle. Meanwhile, the woman’s story has shone a spotlight on the rising tension between traditional marital expectations and the increasing influence of modern addictions.
For now, it seems the husband’s love for Muguka has won this round—but at what cost?
