Court Gives Gay Couple House Arrest, Death Penalty If One Does Not Get Pregnant

A Zimbabwean high court has ordered a recently married gay couple to be placed under house arrest for 12 months, with the possibility of execution if neither of them becomes pregnant during that time.

” The natural rule is unmistakable. Man was created with the responsibility of procreation. The cornerstone and pilar of the great obligation is marriage.

Our African beliefs safeguard this natural law, and if we are to bend and allow it, we must first be shown that this new, western civilization would preserve the natural law and allow procreation to continue…”

Justice Mhelube made the decision.
