Terewaeli W. Swai v. Elingaya w/o Terewaeli, (PC) Civ. App. 1-A-68, 25/3/68, Platt J.

Plaintiff brought claims against her husband for maintenance, on behalf of herself and her apparently illegitimate child, both for the period in which she and defendant had lived together in the matrimonial home, and for a period after he had left her. The judgment of the District Court included an award of Shs. 300/- for the latter period. An award for the earlier period was not contested in the appeal.

            Held: There having been no divorce, the husband remained responsible for the maintenance of his wife during the latter period. Defendant’s appeal dismissed.
