Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 68144, member: 636"] A Harare court issued a protection order to Pardones Taruvinga after she testified that her husband concealed his HIV status for four years while subjecting her to threats and physical violence. Elias Panganayi allegedly hid his medication, avoided disclosure about his health condition, and attacked Taruvinga when she discovered antiretroviral drugs in their home. Taruvinga reported escalating intimidation after confronting him about the hidden medication. Panganayi denied abuse allegations but acknowledged disciplining his wife. The magistrate prohibited Panganayi from contacting or approaching Taruvinga, warning that violating the order would lead to jail time. The ruling followed evidence showing Taruvinga faced sustained intimidation after learning about her husband's undisclosed medical history, which placed her health at risk without her consent.
