A woman is set to marry her son. The woman and her son claim to be in love with each other and now they want to take their relationship to the next level and get married.
What makes it worse is that the mother, Betty Mbereko (from Mwenezi in Masvingo) is now six months pregnant and expecting her son's child, and her grandchild.
Mbereko, 40, has been a widow for the past 12 years and has been living with her 23 years old son Farai Mbereko.
She confirms that she is six month pregnant and that she has decided it is better to "marry" her son.

She said after spending a lot of money sending Farai to school following the death of her husband, she felt she had a right to his money and no other woman was entitled to it.
Farai said he was more than prepared to marry his mother and would pay off the ilobola balance his father had left unpaid to his grandparents.
But local headman Nathan Muputirwa said they cannot allow that to happen in their village.
