Court orders woman to refund millions after she refuses to marry man who paid her fees 

The Chief Magistrate’s Court of Kanungu ordered Fortunate Kyarikunda, who dumped her lover who had sponsored her studies to refund shs9.4 million spent on her as well as as pay legal costs.

According to the court documents seen by the Nile Post, Tumwine, in 2015 while he was a teacher at Kiringa Primary School, met Kyarikunda who had come to the same school for teaching practice.

After agreeing to arrange an introduction ceremony in February 2022, Tumwine told court that Kyarikunda turned down the proposal on grounds he was too old for her.

Consequently, a disappointed Tumwine ran to court seeking for reimbursement of the funds he had spent on her prior to the failed relationship.

According to the court, Kyarikunda was served with court processes but failed to file a defence to the suit, hence granting Tumwine an order to proceed with the suit.

Following a court sitting on Wednesday,  Mukobi, ruled in favour of Tumwine and ordered Kyarikunda to refund Shs9.4 he spent on her, saying she had breached the promise to marry.

The court further ruled that Kyarikunda pays Shs1m in general damages to Tumwine for inconveniences and psychological anguish.
