Unfaithful hubbies: Contrasting legal outcomes for two wives
News that matters to Papua New Guinea
PORT MORESBY: There were news reports of two court cases with men involved in adultery and polygamy ending in contrasting outcomes for two women.
One woman decided to attack and killed her husband’s mistress, the other kept her cool and patiently went through the legal process to have her husband commit to providing her three children.
Aileen Guina, 35, caught her husband, Rodney Guina, in a compromising position with Belinda Kuson on July 22 last year (2018).
Guina and Kuson then argued and fought with the former stabbing the latter in the breast with a kitchen knife.
Kuson died later and Guina was arrested and is now charged with murder.
Guina has told the court that she wanted her husband punished as well for causing all the problems (by committing adultery).
And, Waigani committal court magistrate Cosmas Bidar responded by saying: “Such cases are on the increase and the Government needed to come up with measures to deal with those unfaithful husbands.
“So many calls have been made to raise this issue but nothing has been done so far.”
PNG Cyber Monistor raises two questions: “Did Guina had the right to kill her husband’s mistress? Did she have the right to take revenge and take the law in her hands?”
In the other court case, Luke John, 35, abandoned his wife, Jooan Kuri, and three children to live with his second wife in 2017.
Kuri then had to strive to care and provide for her children, aged 18 months, three and five, by herself
She reported John to the police several times until he was arrested on April 13, 2019, for abandoning his wife and children.
John was charged and Mt Hagen district court magistrate Jacinta Doa fined him K500 in default three months jail.
Doa also ordered John to come up with a plan to provide and care for Kuri and her three children.
John is to present his plan for endorsement in the same court on April 24, 2019.
You be the judge of the two women’s response to their husband’s extra-marital affairs.
