KIGALI, Rwanda
A 33-year-old Rwandan woman has broken her silence about domestic violence, calling for justice after she was allegedly battered by her husband for years.
The ordeal of the woman, identified only as Mugisha to protect her privacy, recently came to the fore after she filed a case seeking a divorce at a court in northern Rwandaâs Musanze district which is still pending trial.
Fond memories
In an interview with Anadolu Agency, Mugisha recalled how she had an amazing wedding that followed a year-long courtship with her husband.
In 2017, the couple married in a church, vowing to stay together until death separated them.
