*`Harare Father Taken To Court For Asking Daughter If She Was Still A Virgin`*
A 20-year-old girl sought a peace order from her father on Wednesday, accusing him of harassment and physical abuse after he asked her mother to check if she was still a virgin.
Deon Njiri told Harare Civil Court that her father Arnold Njiri assaults and insults her every time he gets a chance.
"He beats me using his fist and pushes me against the wall," she said.
"There is nothing I do that will please him. He says I am a prostitute and that my mother should check if I am still a virgin.
"He calls me a Satanist and that I am the reason he is suffering. He threatens me every time he gets a chance and chases me away from his house. One day when I was coming home from work, he came and poured urine in my food and started laughing. He opens my bedroom door when I am naked and he does not even say sorry."
In his defence, Mr Njiri denied all the allegations but said he only called her a Satanist because she cooks using her toothbrush.
"I don't beat her every time. She dropped out of school when she was in Form 6 and she ran away for a year," he said.
"Now that she came back, she came with her own rules. She goes to bands where she says she dances for Jah Signal and returns home in the morning.
"So, I beat her just to correct her and she fought back."
Presiding magistrate Ms Meenal Nartam granted the peace order and ordered Mr Njiri not to insult or threaten Deon.
