The Appellant Chacha Mwita successfully sued the Respondent in Tarime Urban Primary Court for refund of bride price. The Primary Court had ordered that the Appellant be paid 6 heads of cattle. The Respondent was aggrieved and he appealed to the District Court which reversed the decision of the Primary Court. It held that since the marriage between the parties had subsisted for a considerable long time the Appellant could not get refund of bride price. The Appellant is aggrieved and has appealed to this court. The major issue that the High Court considered was whether the Appellant was entitled to any refund of the bride price.
