How Man Died After Marrying His 52 Year Old Mother-In-Law 2 Years After the Death of His Wife.
In an unexpected plot twist, a man and his 52 years old mother-in-law defied all social norms and got married two years after the death of his wife. Judah Magarasadza’s wife, Rozie Gopoza died in 2008 and two months later his mother-in-law Felistus moved in with him.
It was reported by MyZimbawe that the two then started a love relationship which resulted in the new couple tying the knot in 2010, just two years after Rozie Gopoza’s death. The wedding reception was said to have been low-key after the two families obviously refused to bless the marriage.

According to reports, both families refused to take part in the wedding negotiations after Judah and his mother-in-law approached them to bless their ‘illicit’ relationship. Despite the setback, the two would not allow anyone to flout their plans so, they went on to get married.
From 2010 to December 2012, the two were living as husband and wife. However, after Judah died, things took a downward trend for the mother-in-law cum-wife, Felistus.

Sadly, Judah Magarasadza later died from health complications, and his new wife who was his mother-in-law was not allowed to attend the wedding.
Sources said the woman was barred from the funeral by her husband’s relatives who vehemently told her that they did not recognise her relationship with their son.

“She was thrown out. Anyway who would blame them? They were very right in doing so. What kind of a relationship is that,” a source told the press.
It is said that the woman was also barred from attending the burial at the man’s rural home. Joseph Magarasadza the brother of the deceased confirmed that his late brother was involved in a love relationship with his mother-in-law which he described as ‘illegal’.
“No such thing can be allowed to happen in our society. Both parents refused to take part in lobola negotiations after my brother and the woman said they wanted to get married,” he said.

Joseph said contrary to reports that the woman was banned from the funeral, she had actually made the decision herself.
“We had a meeting with her and her brother and that is when she said she would not be at the funeral because people were saying things about her. No one stopped her from attending the funeral,” he said.
