A man in Zambia made headlines after reportedly demolishing a house he had built for his in-laws, following the end of his 10-year marriage. His wife is said to have left him to marry someone else, prompting his drastic response.
During their marriage, the man had constructed the house as a generous contribution to his wife’s family. However, after the divorce, he allegedly decided to reclaim what he viewed as his investment by tearing the building down.
Witnesses say the act was intended to send a strong message—that if the family accepted a new son-in-law, it should now be his responsibility to provide for them.
The woman and her family have not publicly responded to the incident. Meanwhile, local authorities are looking into the matter, including who legally owns the property and whether any laws were broken during the demolition.
The story has sparked mixed reactions, with some expressing sympathy for the man’s sense of betrayal, while others question the legality and morality of his actions.
