A mother is fighting for the dowry of her daughter who was allegedly divorced for bed-wetting in Malindi, Kenya.
And the Malindi/Lango Baya District Officer Josephine Njenga has ordered that the woman be taken to hospital for a pregnancy test.
The husband, who was accompanied by three of his brothers at the DO�s office, said he divorced his wife because she would wet the bed and refuse to take the mattress outside to dry.
�This made my house stink and a source of shame,� he told the DO on Tuesday.
He said he married the woman in July and has tried his best to help her stop the habit to no avail.
But the girl�s mother took the issue to the DO after the village elders seemed to dilly-dally over her demands for payment of bride price.
The couple are primary school dropouts.
