"Dear Pulse,

My name is Juliana Okoye and I am a married woman. My husband and I have been married for five years now without a child to show for it.

The lack of a child in our home is by no means as a result of bareness on my part or impotence on my husband's part, but because he keeps blaming the situation in the country and as such, we should not give birth until the situation improves.

In the past five years, I have had to abort on three occasions because my husband told me to. Anytime I take in, he will threaten me and force me to abort the baby, saying he is not ready to have an added responsibility.

It is not as if he is unemployed as he has his own business and I notice that anytime I abort, his business takes a different turn and booms greatly.

His family has been on my neck, blaming me for our inability to have a child but I have never divulged to them that it is actually their son that say we should not have a child now.

Presently, I am pregnant and my husband has been pleading with me to do away with it. I am beginning to suspect he may be into some cult that has forbidden him to have a child.

Juliana,

Alaba, Lagos."
