A 27-year-old man, pulled a surprise on his family members when he left his pretty wife for a physically challenged lady.
The young man, identified as Amani from Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), angered his family members by the decision, and they have tagged him a crazy fellow, while his first wife thinks the lady bewitched him.
Amani said it all started in 2015 when he began going to his neighbour’s house to help out with chores.
The physically challenged lady, Faraji, 21 and Amani, 27 were next-door neighbours.
In an interview with Afrimax English, the 27-year-old said his marriage to his first wife was stressful as they always had quarrels.
The unending problems in his marriage led him on frequent visits to his next-door neighbour where he helped out with manly chores.
Amani said in the course of the visits, he noticed Faraji their daughter who is disabled and fell in love with her as she gave him peace. What started as a friendship between Amani and the lady in 2015, grew into a relationship that made him to dump his wife.
Amani’s family was shocked at his decision and believed he had gone nuts.
He said they didn’t only refuse to give their blessings, but also declined to support the marriage as they did to his first.
He added that his first wife thinks Faraji bewitched him, but it is not true.
He said: “When my family noticed that I have left my first wife for her, they were not at all happy.
“They were shocked and told me that I was crazy to even think of such a thing. “I told them that though she is disabled, she is the one I love and want to be with. “I tried to make them understand that she is also human and deserves to be loved. That was when I decided to stick by her side forever.”
Though not properly married, Amani has two kids with Faraji and they live together.
Faraji said she needs help to purchase sewing machine for her dress making business in order to assist her ‘husband’ in providing for the family.
