After a 12-year battle, the Court of Appeal last week ruled that Zipporah Wangui, 78, deserved a share of property acquired during her marriage to Peter Njuguna, 80.
The couple's marriage hit the rocks in 1987, and Mr Njuguna left his matrimonial home as a result. He resurfaced after 12 years, in 1999, only to leave again in 2001 to live with another woman.
