She further noted the plea by Mr Lagat to be given a share of the bride price was not properly made before court and was dismissed on technicalities. The case was filed in October 2018 by Ms Chemutai, who sought to block Mr Lagat from demanding a share of the bride price. Ms Chemutai said she decided to leave her matrimonial home in 1998 after her husband became cruel. After the separation, Mr Lagat never bothered about the family nor provided for them. He said Ms Chemutai cut all communication after moving in with another man.
