A Kenyan woman has narrated how her husband brought her sister to their home and ended up ruining her marriage. Ruth Wangari, a Kenyan woman betrayed by her elder sister and husband says she will never forgive him.Ruth Wangariu had just delivered a child through cesarean section and needed someone to help her take care of herself and the baby.
The ideal person would have been her mother, but they fell out because her mum did not allow her to name the child after her, as per the Agikuyu culture. “My mum said she would not allow me to name my firstborn girl after her just because my baby was delivered through cesarean section,” she said. Why Kenyan pastor welcomed wife’s sister to their home Wangariu’s husband, a pastor, told her not to worry and promised to get her a helper. To her surprise, he came home one day with her elder sister.
“My husband told me not to look for someone to help me with housework. He said he would get me someone himself. I felt safe when I saw my sister because I thought she would understand me and we would get along well,” she explained. However, she later noticed that the elder sister was reluctant to return to her husband’s house after she healed and could do house chores herself. “My sister is married, so any time her husband called her, she would use me as an excuse, saying I still needed her help,” she narrated.
She later realized that her elder sister did not want to go back to her home because she was having an affair with the pastor. “I was outside the house doing laundry and noticed I had forgotten something inside. Upon opening the door, I found the two of them in the act on my matrimonial bed,” stated Wangariu.
