D had been trying hard
to conceive after her marriage, but was unsuccessful. She and her loving
husband spent thousands of dollars going for a few rounds of IVF treatments.
Nothing worked. Even spiritual visits to churches and her constant prayers were
not answered. Her teenaged niece came to stay with her while pursuing a course
at a local college. Within a couple of weeks, her niece was found to be with
child. D had never even known that her niece had had a boyfriend. She still
seemed so young and innocent and now, she was going to be a mother? What made
her want to engage in sex at such a young age? Did she ever consider that her
proximity with the opposite sex would lead her to becoming pregnant? Her niece
admitted that she had only done it once and was ‘caught’. Why was D never
‘caught’ despite the fact that she was ready to be a mother?
