Fact-check: Polish TikTokker False Gay Couple Claim based on another equally false claim  - FactCheckZW
Verdict: the claim by a polish tiktokker that 'in zimbabwe a homosexual couple has been put under house arrest for 12 months. if neither of them gets pregnant, they will be sentenced to death' has been rated as false. the video was based on an equally false claim from x that 'a high court in zimbabwe has ordered a newly married gay couple to be put under house arrest for 12 months and if by the end of the period none of them will be pregnant, the court further ordered a death penalty'. same sex marriages are prohibited in zimbabwe and in cases of sodomy, the sentence is a fine up to or exceeding level fourteen or imprisonment for a period not exceeding one year or both. in a recent court case, two men convicted of sodomy were sentenced to a fine of us$150 each or failing to pay, 120 days in prison.
