Abstract
This obligatory essay identifies the sources of the rules of evidence in Zambia. It examines whether these sources of the rules of evidence are adequate and suitable to the Zambian setting. In this respect, the essay picks out on the spouse evidence and provides an analysis to show, m certain circumstances, how inadequate these rules have been unfair to the ordinary Zambian. The essay also attempts briefly, in chapters SIX and seven, to examine ways in which legal rules of evidence could be brought into force which would be representative of community aspiration, it suggests in this regard one way: i.e. a parliamentary enactment; either by codification or consolidation.
