Bravo Judge Mwale ! There is nothing “mere” in being a housewife! That is a full time job and some without vacation !!!! How about the fact that she carried those kids for nine long months, went through painful labor, gave birth to them, raised them well enough that they stayed in school while taking care of the cash-gate thief husband!!!………. What’s ” mere” about that Mr sexist Lawyer???

Fiona, not mere education but PhDs. Those who are not married should make sure that they marry mere housewives, it help them in Malawi courts later. We are seeing it.

But what is wrong with that, by saying that one is a “mere house wife”?????? Everybody knows what that means. Most of our mothers don’t contribute financially in the families BUT there are other ways they contribute positively to the wellbeing of the families. So mostly when a father is not present, be it dead or gone away then it’s total problem. So I don’t see any offence by saying that & that’s how it is meant to be. A good husband must look after his wife & kids. In short his family.
