A Woman Narrates How Her Husband's Sidekick Beat Her Up After She Got Pregnant

A woman from Sehwi by the name of Liticia describes how her husband's sidekick beat her up after she became pregnant for him. The woman claimed that she was staying with her father, siblings, and other family members who are all farmers and rely on the produce from their farms. She was not interested in staying with any man owing to her condition and the fact that she had been with two different men who abandoned her after giving birth when their neighbor one day introduced her to her husband, Daniel Oteng.

 

However, the next-door neighbor persuaded her that Daniel is a diligent worker who can assist her with farm tasks. Leticia claimed that she agreed with her and that they eventually got married. They sold their farm products a year later, but the man spent all the proceeds without giving her any of it; she showed no reaction and stayed with him. However, Daniel continued to spend the money they made from selling the cocoa beans, and he also had a sexual encounter with a different woman in the town next door.

 

Leticia admitted that she and Daniel had a disagreement about his womanizing, but Daniel told the sidechick about their marital problems. After she became pregnant, the sidekick later visited their home to beat her without offending her. He subsequently came to apologize to her and persuaded her to deliver the baby after she opted to terminate the pregnancy due to this problem.

 

Leticia reiterated that she had accepted and continued the pregnancy. However, after giving birth at the hospital, she called her husband to ask him to pay the hospital bills, but he never returned her calls.

 

Before she was allowed to leave the hospital, it was her sister who applied for a loan of GHC2,600 to cover the medical expenses. She, too, has not been able to make payments on the debt thus far. The woman claimed she is unable to pay back the loan while Daniel remains at large. Therefore, she wants her husband to refund the debt and also pay her compensation.
