Ugandan woman has been ordered by the court to pay her ex fiance financial damages for causing him psychological distress.
The court in Kanungu determined that Richard Tumwine paid Fortunate Kyarikunda's collage fees worth 9.4 million Ugandan Shillings($2,550) plus his legal fees, which she must now pay back.
Magistrate Asanasio Mukabi ruled that by calling off their engagement after four years, Fortunate had broken a promise to the detriment of Mr. Richard.
The court ruled that it was unreasonable, a misrepresentation and a fraud for Ms Kyarikunda's to argue that her parents told her not to marry an older man.
The court said, "Ms Kyarikunda had all the opportunities to reject the plaintiff's love requests from the earliest point possible and avoid interfering with his financial obligations."
