An enraged woman put her husband up for sale after she caught him cheating.
Edna Mukwana, from Kenya, said she sold her husband for 1700 Kenyan Shilling (£12.76) and used the money to buy her children clothes for the new year, according to GhanaWeb.
She explained that she caught her husband sleeping with another woman in their matrimonial bed and did not let him return home for over a week after the confrontation.
She then decided to sell her husband to the mistress, saying: “My husband is married to alcohol and whoring around.
“I told the woman who has been misleading him to send me Ksh2000 but she sent me Ksh1700 instead.
“I have used all the money to buy new year clothes for my children.”
Asked if she will accept her husband to return, Edna said: “I can’t. I don’t want to get into the new year with the 2019 nuisance.”
In December, 2018, a woman living in Hamburg, Germany put her ‘used husband’ for auction on eBay after getting ‘fed up’ with him.
The price started from just €18 (£16) and was open to negotiation.
Last year, an Irish woman put her husband up for ‘sale’ on an auction website after he went on a fishing trip, leaving her home with their kids.
In the advert, listed on TradeMe site (kind of like eBay) in New Zealand, the woman mentioned her husband’s pros and cons to fetch a good bargain.
The woman, recognized as Linda McAlister, mentioned in her advertisement that her husband, John, is 37 years old, 6 foot 1 and a beef farmer.
The couple got married in Ireland in 2019, and currently lives in NZ with their two boys – a 4-year-old and 6-year-old. The woman decided to put her husband on sale after he took off on a fishing trip during the school holidays, leaving her home to take care of their kids.
“As he is a shootin’, and fishin’ sort of fellow it’s not unusual behaviour, but with kids on school holidays and bed times slipping later and later, they are all driving me wild,” McAlister told stuff.co.nz.
The advert gained a lot of attention online for its quirky and detailed description of the husband who was put on sale.
For instance, the woman in the ad assured buyers about John’s loyalty, adding that he just needs to be fed and watered.
McAlister gets funnier as she takes a dig at her husband adding that the “sale is final, no returns or exchanges”.
The woman also cautions buyers that her husband needs house training and at the moment, she doesn’t have the time, nor the patience to do it herself.
The auction which left the husband himself pretty amused, hit NZD100 (around Rs 5,000) in a few hours on the website before it was taken down for breaching the site’s terms and conditions.
