A Chinese woman has reportedly passed on, after she was forced to go through series of abortions, totaling 4, in a year, all because her husband wanted a son.

The woman, who had one daughter, was told by her husband to terminate her pregnancies whenever the medical scan showed she was carrying a girl, according to Chinese media.

Her husband was said to have proposed a divorce earlier this year after the woman had been left bedridden by the traumatic medical operations.

According to a report on Huanqiu.com, an affiliation to People’s Daily Online, the mother, named Yueyue, gave birth to a baby girl in Shengangzhen of Wuhu, Anhui Province.

However, her husband, whose name has not been revealed, wished for a boy.

So the couple started trying for another baby.

When Yueyue fell pregnant, her husband requested her to undergo an ultra-sound scan to identify the gender of the unborn baby.

And when the scan showed Yueyue was carrying a girl, Yueyue’s husband forced her to have an abortion.

The process repeated four times in one year as Yueyue’s husband was determined to have a son.

Yueyue’s health deteriorated and she was left bedridden.

Shockingly, instead of taking care of his wife, the husband sent Yueyue a divorce proposal.

The report said Yueyue had no choice but to agree to the divorce.

Yueyue took her 170,000 yuan (£19,208) divorce settlement to a hospital in Shanghai to seek medical attention.

UNILORIN Deputy Bursar, Oba has declared during the 9th Muktar Isale-Koto Annual Islamic Lecture, that it’s not a crime for children to hawk on the streets.

During the 9th Muktar Isale-Koto Annual Islamic Lecture that held at the University of Ilorin on Tuesday, the Deputy Bursar of the University declared that street hawking by children is not necessarily a crime, especially if the children do so when they are not meant to be in school. Dailypost Reports.

According to him, it was possible for a family to face economic recession even while the rest of the country was experiencing growth, hence, the need for children to help the family in making ends to meet.

“I and members of my age group in those days hawked to augment the family income while we were children, yet many of us turned out successful professionals.”

Oba further charged Muslim to restrain them from falling into the temptation of corruption, saying the vice was endemic among public servants.

He urged managers of Arabic and Islamic institutions to upgrade their services by providing children-friendly environment conducive for learning.

Sheikh Muhydeen Al-Kubrah, the Chief Imam and Missioner of the UK-based Ansarul Rahman Islamic Association stressed the need for quality parenting.

“It is indispensable in our quest for national development,’’ he said.

The man also blasted his young daughter who was involved in the act, as she felt remorseful. He later asked his nephew to apologize to her for taking advantage and convincing the teenage girl to have sex with him.

A 55-year-old woman who killed her mother by giving her an overdose of drugs and smothering her with a pillow has been found guilty of causing her death.

Shirley D’Silva of Morland Road, Croydon pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey on Monday, 17 July to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. She will be sentenced at the same court on Tuesday, 18 July.

On 25 October 2016 at about 16:10hrs, D?Silva dialled 999 and told the operator that she had just killed her 77-year-old mother Martha Pereira at the home they shared.

When the operator asked what happened, she replied:

“Erm, nothing happened. I just decided to take her life.”

When the operator asked D?Silva “what made you do this today?” she replied:

”It’s the world we live around. We’ve been suffering too long. Nobody’s doing nothing about it. Somebody has to come forward and do something about it.”

She told the operator her mother had been unwell for a long time. Later on in the call when asked by the operator “did you do it because you don’t think you were getting the help you needed?”

she replied:

“No, no. It’s not, it’s not that. It’s about the world, the war around the world going on.’

D?Silva remained on the phone until officers arrived at the scene.

She remained calm at first and when asked what happened, D?Silva told officers:

“I have just killed my mother. I have given her an overdose of insulin and I have suffocated her with a pillow.”

Officers and paramedics from the London Ambulance Service carried out CPR on Mrs Pereira but she was pronounced dead a short time later at a south London hospital.

A post-mortem examination showed the cause of death was consistent with an insulin overdose and smothering.

D?Silva was arrested on suspicion of murder at 16:18hrs on 25 October. She was charged on 27 October.

When interviewed by officers D?Silva told them a man had told her to kill her mother, and he was now telling her to kill her husband and son.

Detective Sergeant Brendan Ward, the investigating officer from the Met?s Homicide and Major Crime Command, said:

“This is a very sad case and our thoughts and sympathies are with the family at this difficult time.”

Of late, cases of women raping men in Zimbabwe has become rampant. A father-of-four, kidnapped and raped by two women for days to the extent that his penis became bruised, has come out to tell his story and it’s really pathetic.

People have been sceptical about the stories being told of an increase in female rapists and this is because the victims prefer to be silent due to shame. However, the latest victim, a 48-year-old father agreed to speak to The Standard on the condition of anonymity.

The victim, Chivamba (not real name), is a teacher from Mashonaland East who lives in Chitungwiza. He said he never believed the stories about female rapists until it happened to him.

Chivamba had tears in his eyes as he recounted the incident, saying it left him “confused, traumatised and dejected.” He said he still relives the nightmare and hopes the women will get caught soon and be brought to justice.

?No man would ever want such an experience and as for me, I would give anything to avoid a repeat, even in a dream,? he said.

Recalling the sad incident, he said:

“My family stays here in Chitungwiza and I was on my way back to Macheke after a weekend visit when this tragedy happened.

I usually prefer to use buses when travelling but as fate would have it, that day I flagged down a private car, a BMW and it stopped. The driver told me that he was going to Mutare via Marondera and that was perfect for me.

There were three women already in the car, one sitting on the front passenger seat and the other two on the back seat. I got in and sat with the two women at the back and we took off.”

He said everyone was very friendly and the driver seemed to be in a romantic relationship with the woman sitting with him in the front.

“They were all drinking beer which was in a cooler box and when we got to Ziko shopping centre they stopped to refill. One of the ladies offered me a beer and I politely turned her down since I was not feeling well. I settled for a cascade which she handed over to me.”

Chivamba said as they approached the Dema toll gate the driver took the dust road which many other drivers used to avoid paying toll fees. At this time, he said he had finished his drink and was already feeling dizzy.

“I thought maybe it was the effects of the tablets that I had taken that day since I was having a running stomach. I fell asleep and the next moment I found myself in a small room with a small bed. I screamed but no one came to my rescue. My manhood felt itchy and when I looked down I realised I was bruised.

I felt weak and I was confused. Then the two women who I was sharing the back seat within the car entered the room. They appeared to be much younger than the one who was seated at the front. They began removing their clothes and told me that they wanted me to have sex with them. I refused but one of them who appeared very drunk produced a pistol and told me that she would not hesitate to kill me.

“They tied both my hands, and began caressing me like what happens in a porn movie. They would take turns to suck my manhood and forcibly having sex with me. I was made to take another drink and soon after I had an erection. They would not stop raping me despite my pleas for mercy. One of the women used a condom but the other one wanted unprotected sex.”

The next day the women, while masked with a woollen hat, brought food for him into the room where he was locked. Later that day, they bundled him into their car and they drove for some time before he was dumped along Wedza-Murambinda road.

“That was my first time to be in Wedza. I was assisted by some young men who directed me to Wedza centre where I reported the matter to the police. The police then took me to hospital where I was given treatment for the bruises on my manhood and also medication to prevent infection. I am grateful to the police and the staff at the hospital,” he said.

Chivamba sustained injuries on his manhood, suffered chest pains and was put on 30-day medication to prevent him from contracting the HIV virus, a medical report shows.

He now moves around with the aid of crutches, and each time he goes to pee, the scars on his manhood bring back the memories of how he suffered at the hands of the female rapists.
