The gay couple detained for holding an unofficial same-sex wedding ceremony in Malawi will be sentenced next month.
Tiwonge Chimbalanga and Steven Monjeza face a maximum of 14 years in prison, according to Agence France-Presse. The couple were denied bail when they went before the court last month.
According to AFP, magistrate Nyakwawa Usiwausiwa said after a hearing Thursday that the court will meet on March 22 for judgment.
