Woman Takes Poison After Husband's Secret Marriage.

A Kwekwe woman tried to end her life after learning her husband married another woman without telling her. She lies in hospital after taking poison on January 8.

Alice found out her husband, Forbes Degwa, paid the bride price for Angeline Mujanja last month. Degwa is a senior manager at a local company.

The new wife, Angeline, told Alice about the December 14 marriage herself. This news pushed Alice, an orphan raised by her late grandmother, to drink poison at her home.

When asked about the event, Degwa avoided answering. He asked who shared the news and promised to call back in 15 minutes, but he never did.

Angeline denied everything. "I don't know what you're talking about," she said. "I didn't marry anyone on that date."

But someone close to the family confirmed the story. "Angeline really did tell the first wife about the marriage," they said. "This caused all the trouble. Alice felt such pain she wanted to die."

Alice stays at Kwekwe Hospital as she recovers from the poison. The case shows how secret marriages can harm families and push people to desperate acts.
