Judy Nyawira, the wife of comedian and screenwriter Abel Mutua, claims she makes every effort to maintain a distance from her in-laws.<\/p>\n
When asked why, Nyawira explains that she kept a distance with her in-laws after getting married because of a bad event in the past.<\/p>\n
Nyawira claims that after her father passed away in 2002, her mother’s in-laws turned against her, kicking them out of their marital house and taking his father’s money.<\/p>\n
When her father passed away, he had not yet created a will, according to Judy, who described her mother as a loving housewife who planned out her father’s life.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cEverything they had built with my dad was in his name. So when the in-laws decided to do whatever they did, she had no means to claim.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Her mother was forced to work as a cleaner at a nearby market where she was paid Sh200 a day after they tragically lost everything.<\/p>\n
Judy claims that her motivation to work hard came from witnessing her mother being disparaged and left at the whim of others.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI would accompany mom to the market where we would sweep for as low as Sh200. Starting from scratch was hard.<\/em><\/p>\n
Our breakthrough came when mom got a job in Karatina town. I was in High School at that time and life gradually changed for the better. Mom could now afford to escort me to a supermarket and buy me biscuits, blue band, and other goodies plus give me Sh500 pocket money before I left for school.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The incident from her youth has stayed with Nyawira to this day, and despite having a friendly relationship with her in-laws, she says she is well aware that anything might happen.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cOf course I have in-laws but if there is something I strive to do is stay away from my in-laws. We have a very cordial relationship but I always try to keep a distance and it\u2019s because of what I saw my mum go through with her in-laws.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Nine years into her marriage, Nyawira and her spouse have a 12-year-old daughter named Stephanie Mumbua.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
