Girl,16 Forced into Marriage to Cover R*pe

After being detained for raping a 16-year-old girl from Kuwadzana and taking her as a wife to hide the crime, a 36-year-old guy from Mbare, Harare, is currently being held in remand prison.

When her parents approached Kudzai Masakadze, the man who had impregnated the girl, once it became apparent that he was treating her terribly, the marriage arrangement fell apart.

At Sally Mugabe Maternity Hospital, the girl gave birth to twin girls lately, and she was showered with gifts from her well-wishers.

Representatives from Little Mr. and Miss Africa Zimbabwe, under the direction of Shalom Ramunyenyiwa, were among the benefactors.

Shalom encouraged the community and parents to keep protecting children in an interview with H-Metro. Says she:
