Zimbabwe Court Sentences Couple To One Year House

Arrest , Death Penalty If One Does Not Get Pregnant

A High Court in Zimbabwe has ordered a newly married gay couple to be put under house arrest for 12 months.

The Court said if by the end of the period none of them will be pregnant, the Court will further order a death penalty.

” The natural law is clear. Man was created and given the obligation to procreate. Marriage is the cornerstone and pillar to that noble duty. Our African values protect this natural law, and if we are to bend and allow such, we must first be shown that this new, western culture will uphold the natural law and continue procreation …”

Justice Mhelube ruled.
