True. I’ll forever be grateful for how my parents loved each other loudly. My father was not only a great husband but a dream dad, my mom was a queen! They fit together like a glove. Those two showed us what love it my goodness 🥹🥹

Wife loses claim to husband’s R2.3 million pension after affair and child outside marriage
A Gauteng High Court has ruled that a woman must forfeit her claim to her estranged husband’s R2.3 million pension fund after finding that her conduct during the marriage constituted substantial misconduct.
The ruling, delivered by Judge Noluntu Bam at the North Gauteng High Court, stems from divorce proceedings in which the husband successfully argued that his wife’s extramarital affair with his friend and the subsequent birth of a child with another man justified excluding her from sharing in his pension benefits.
Married in community of property in 2011, the couple had lived apart since 2020 and agreed their marriage had irretrievably broken down. They also agreed to divide their joint estate equally except for the pension, which the husband sought to protect, citing his wife’s conduct.
During the trial, the court heard that the wife had been unemployed throughout the marriage and engaged in a romantic relationship with one of her husband’s friends while they were still living together.
The husband testified he later discovered via a Facebook baby‑shower post that she had given birth to a third child with another man, a revelation the judge described as humiliating for him.
Judge Bam accepted the husband’s account and found that allowing the wife to benefit from the pension would amount to an undue advantage, particularly given her new relationship and independence from the marriage.
In reaching her decision, the judge noted that the wife’s conduct including procreating with a third party and publicising it amounted to substantial misconduct under Section 9 of the Divorce Act, which permits forfeiture orders when one party would be unduly benefited without them.
The court granted the divorce, ordered an equal division of the joint estate excluding the pension benefits, and made provisions for care and maintenance of the minor children. Each party was ordered to pay their own legal costs.
