Kin of a deceased Nairobi man have raised questions regarding his alleged marriage to a city woman.
Brothers of the late Kanswajit Sheigh Chadda are questioning Merilyn Mercy Wanjiru's claims that she was married to him before his death.
In a case that was filed before the Milimani Law Courts, the kin say that Wanjiru's argument doesn't add up, as her marriage certificate indicates that she married Chadda a year after his death.
They suspect that she forged the papers to be able to access and steal his property in Ngara Estate, arguing that until his death in July 2017, the accused was just his house help.
"My brother was never married," Parminder Sigh, a brother to the deceased, and in whose house the deceased lived to his death, in Ngara, says in court papers seen by the K24.
But Ms Wanjiru's marriage papers indicate that she married the deceased at the Registrar of Marriages on July 17, 2018 and lived with him until his death on October 31, 2018.
The mother of two (not Chadda's children) also claims that they had been in love since 1998.
She is now facing a forgery case and is out on a Sh30,000 bail until December 4, 2019, when she is expected back in court to take a plea.
Wanjiru is currently living in the same house, which Sigh claims that he left for Chadda after leaving for the United States.
