Mother Kills Her New Born Child

Every sane woman dreams of having her own child. Most women look forward to the time when they will hold their child in their hands for the first time. In fact, many mothers claim it is the most divine feeling in the whole world. But, these sentiments are of course not shared by every mother.

In Islamabad, a newborn baby boy was strangled by his own mother and grandmother at PIMS yesterday. Both the women were arrested as the hospital warden registered a case against them. The interrogation revealed that mother of the child got married to a relative of hers after she got pregnant with another man. She admitted that she was having an extra marital affair with another one of her relatives who is a 35 year old man. She had to hide her pregnancy and so quickly married another man.

Surprisingly, just after three months of marriage the girl had to be taken to the hospital on Wednesday when she had labor pain and she ended up giving birth to an otherwise very healthy baby boy of 2 kg. The grandmother of the child said that the baby was the result of an illicit relationship and so they decided to finish him off. The grandmother took the child in her lap and strangled him as told by the mother.

I am amazed at the man who even married the pregnant woman without ever thinking she was expecting and not only that - what was he thinking when he took her to the hospital to deliver a baby just 3 months after the marriage? Did he even have a brain or not? And these women sound disgusting. These women don't only disrespect motherhood but also demean the very existence of woman kind itself.
