Caren*, from Kibra constituency’ s Katwekera district, has been in mental torment since her husband married a second wife, whom he felt would bear him a baby kid.
We met her at the Polycom Development Project (PDP) in Kibra’ s Olympic area. She was in a gathering treatment session for women and girls who had been victims of gender- based abuse.
Her eyes destroy as she tells her story. Caren experienced childhood in a low- income family. Because of an absence of even the most basic home supplies, such as food, she pursued a choice that she presently regrets. ” I understood that married women had some money for food and didn’ t need to struggle as much as I did. “
” As a result, I chose to marry a man I had met, ” she explains. Caren claims she loved the man despite the circumstances. They immediately started a family. She brought forth twin girls first (presently matured 15).
She then, at that point, brought forth a second daughter (presently matured 11). She brought forth a kid in 2013. ” My spouse was thrilled that we had a baby kid finally. After a spell of looseness of the bowels and vomiting, the kid passed on. ” He was about a year old, ” Caren estimates.
She became pregnant two additional times and brought forth two daughters, the youngest of whom is one year and eight months old.
Caren found out in June that her husband had married a second woman and had migrated her close to her home. ” The lady was six months pregnant when I found out about it. ” His arrangement, according to what I’ ve heard, was to find a woman who could give him boys. Whenever the lady straightforwardly boasted about being pregnant with a kid, Caren affirmed the rumors.
Caren, still angered, endeavored to recover her husband by approaching his relatives. ‘ You are making noise yet you can’ t give my brother a son! ‘ his eldest sister ” shushed me” around there, confirming her fears.
According to Caren, the lady brought forth a baby young lady in a spectacular development. ” Everything I did was giggle. ” There’ s nothing you can do to cause God to do anything. ” Caren believes her husband is looking for a son to carry on his family’ s inheritance.
She, then again, does not want additional children. She is satisfied with the five girls she has.
