What a tragedy!
According to the South China Morning Post, a woman from China reportedly passed away from being forced by her now ex-husband to go through 4 abortions in the past year because he wanted a baby boy.
The woman reportedly gave birth to a baby girl four years ago, but her then husband demanded that their second child needed to be a boy.
However, they did not manage to conceive a boy despite trying multiple times, which infuriated the husband. He forced her to go through a total of four abortions in one year because all of the babies they conceived were girls.
Shortly after those abortions, the woman fell ill and her husband subsequently divorced her.
Soon, her illness became worse and her health deteriorated to the point where she had to be admitted to a hospital.
Eventually, the poor woman succumbed to her illness and passed away not long after that.
What makes things worse is that her ex-husband showed no remorse over her death. He reportedly did not visit her in the hospital when she was ill and is now already planning on marrying another woman!
According to traditional Chinese culture, boys are favoured over girls, and it is illegal for doctors to inform parents the sex of their child in case they want to terminate the pregnancy.
However, many unlicensed doctors often operate illegally to inform mothers of their babies’ sex, which was probably how this woman found out the sex of her babies.
What an unfortunate set of circumstances. Our thoughts are with the woman’s loved ones and we hope her daughter has someone to care for her.
