What you need to know:

  • George Gona Charo has become a frequent visitor of the courts as his second wife Neema Nijnikant Shah has sued him for bigamy – the offence of marrying someone while already married to another person.
  • Mr Charo is further accused of threatening to kill his second wife after she discovered he had another wife.
  • In her testimony, Ms Shah says she was led to believe she was Mr Charo's only wife and that they had even vacationed in Mauritius.
  • Mr Charo denies the charges and insists he has no personal problem with Ms Shah and that he is ready for talks to iron out their differences.

A 30-year-old man could spend five years in prison for allegedly taking a second woman without informing her of the existence of a first wife.
