Waiting for your partner to tie the knot can be a frustrating wait at the best of times.
But one woman has taken extreme measures to make sure her long term boyfriend is committed to marrying her.
Gertrude Ngoma, 26, from Zambia, is suing her boyfriend of 8 years, Herbert Salaliki, for not marrying her.
The lawsuit demands he outlines his plans for the future after becoming frustrated at waiting to get married as well as catching him texting another woman.
Ngoma is still living with her parents while Salaliki, 28, lives in a separate home. The couple has a child together.
