Husband Sues Wife: Would you sue your spouse for mismanaging your business or taking money from it behind your back? This is exactly what happened to one couple. About a year ago, a business lady was arraigned in court and charged with two counts of stealing and forgery in a complaint that was filed by her business partner who is also her husband.
Rosalyn Wangui Wambugu who was charged with intent to defraud, allegedly forged an account opening application form of their company account at the National Bank of Kenya, Harambee Avenue branch in Nairobi on March 29, 2018, purporting it to have been signed by her husband Johnson Ndung’u Njau.

Wangui was also charged with stealing Ksh. 1 million on April 16, 2018 from their company – Jondu Enterprises Limited by virtue of her employment as a Co- director of the said company.
She however denied the charges at the Nairobi Milimani Court and claimed that she did not have a to live. She even said that her husband had become abusive in the marriage. “Your honour, the complainant is my husband who has been assaulting me and at the moment, has kicked me out of our matrimonial home,” said Wangui.
This case raised questions on what the law says about matrimonial property use and misuse, and the morality of it. For example, if you run a business, would you sue your wife if she withdrew money from the business accounts without your consent? Husband Sues Wife.
