Furious wife confronts husband in church as he tries to marry woman behind her back

A furious wife gatecrashed a wedding after discovering her husband was marrying another woman behind her back.

The scheming groom reportedly told his wife that he was out of town with work - but instead attempted to tie the knot without her knowledge.

He was caught out after his neighbours got wind of the ceremony, according to reports in Zambia, the Zambian Observer reports.

Now the man, named as Abraham Muyunda, could face bigamy charges after his actions unravelled.

His wife burst into the church and told the stunned congregation: "This man is my husband. We haven't divorced."

She went on to say that they "never quarrelled", adding: "I don't know what is happening here."

Video shows the woman, who was carrying a baby, argue with a woman in the front of the church before an animated discussion with a preacher.

The groom watched with his hand to his face, but the bride-to-be did not appear to react.

It is claimed that she knew he was married.

The ceremony was reportedly held at a Catholic church in capital city Lusaka.

Mr Muyunda, who works at the Zambia Revenue Authority, is said to have three children.

He could face seven years behind bars if he is convicted of bigamy.
