A Ugandan woman who broke up with her fiancé has been ordered to pay him financial damages for psychological anguish.
The court in Kanungu said Richard Tumwine paid 9.4m shillings ($2,550; £2,060) for Fortunate Kyarikunda’s law studies, which she must now repay plus his legal fees.
By calling off their engagement after four years, Magistrate Asanasio Mukobi ruled that Ms Kyarikunda had broken a promise to the detriment of Mr Tumwine.
The court said it was “unreasonable, a misrepresentation and a fraud” for the defendant to argue that her parents told her not to marry an older man, saying she “had all the opportunity to reject the plaintiff’s love requests at the earliest point possible and avoid interfering with his financial obligations”.
It is not known if Ms Kyarikunda will appeal against the judgement.
I finally had it and told him I was moving out on the 4th. We’d never had a real convo about divorce or separation other than him occasionally texting me in the middle of a fight saying that I should go ahead and just move out, then that he was joking. I moved out on the 5th (found an apt with an opening immediately). I took the weekend to think about it and I decided that I wanted to divorce, I didn’t want to go back-and-forth make up break up all that jazz so I told him when we met for dinner that I want a divorce https://onlinedivorcer.com/county-specific-resources/texas/divorce-in-harris-county.
