Saidi Sefu v. Aidan A. Mwambeta, (PC) Civ. App. 37-D-67; -/5/67, Saidi, J.
Plaintiff’s daughter was seduced by defendant; she did not become pregnant.
Held: (1) Because no pregnancy resulted there can be no cause of action for loss of services. (2) Damages can be claimed by the parents for injured feelings and for the dishonors to the daughter and the family caused by the act of the seducer. However, because no pregnancy
occurred the damages allowed are not substantial. The High Court affirmed an award of Shs. 150/- damages to plaintiff.
