Stop spying on spouse's phones - Zambian president

Hakainde Hichilema, the president of Zambia, has encouraged his citizens to refrain from monitoring their wives' phones. His remarks were a part of his appeal to try and lower the nation's divorce rate.

According to records, there were over 22,000 divorce cases in the nation last year alone, according to the president.

Adultery, gender-based violence, insults, and cruelty were among the most common justifications for divorce given in court.

Local media agencies quote Mr. Hichilema as saying, "We married for love, we don't marry to go and check each other out, or to go and point a finger," when he hosted a local monarch.

According to reports, he said, "Freedom includes duty to limit our freedom, not to interfere with others' freedom. Be forgiving and compassionate.

According to statistics from the previous 12 months, the nation's shortest marriage lasted only 30 days, while the oldest lasted 65 years.
