Faced With Ultimatum in Court, Man Chooses Beer Over Marriage

Man chooses beer over marriage in court proceedings in Zambia.

A man in Zambia faced legal proceedings due to his drinking, and when pressed in court, he ultimately chose beer over his marriage.

Allan Kawewa was taken to Livingstone Local Court by his wife over his drinking habits. According to the Zambia Daily Mail, Kawewa said in court that he still loves his wife and does not want her to leave him, but he is not ready to change how much he drinks.

The couple has two kids together, ages 22 and 29, and while Kaweka was quoted saying, “Please, forgive me let things go back to where they were when we met. I still love you,” the court and his wife were taken aback by the revelation that he would rather get a divorce than sober up.

Lots of people had something to say about Kaweka and his decision on Facebook, but our favorite has to be from commenter Christopher Chimfwembe Bwalya: “He is an inspiration and a role model to mankind, he is an honest man who doesn’t want to live a fake life by pleasing people.”
