A secondary school teacher in Kisii, Kenya, has made history after winning a legal battle against his estranged wife in which the judge ordered her to refund the money he had paid as bride price.

Mayaka was happy that he had finally gotten justice in the case that has lasted six years now. He had earlier made an appeal in February 2015, against an earlier court ruling but judges Wanjiru Karanja, Festus Azangalala and Gatembu Kairu rejected it.
