A Kenyan woman, Josephine Achary Akongo, has narrated how her ex-husband's parents kicked her out of the house over her inability to bear children.

Speaking to the Standard Media , Josephine, from Ahero Kisumu County, Nyando sub-county, said her ex-husband's second wife has been unable to have children since he married her in 2014.

Speaking further, Josephine revealed that she had a child while still in school and before marrying her ex.

“I didn’t find it easy after realizing that I was pregnant. It was funny because some visitors came to our place to bring dowry for my cousin, and as girls, we were invited to entertain them. That’s how I got involved with a guy for just one night, and that’s how I conceived. Unfortunately, the guy disappeared afterward,” she said.

"I learned in day school, but I spent most of my time outside the school due to frequent illness. Eventually, my mother discovered what was happening and she was constantly reminding me of how I had wasted her hard-earned money.

“In school, students disapproved of me and often laughed at me. During that time, getting pregnant was considered taboo. However, despite being in Form Four, I persevered and managed to sit my national exams, though I didn’t perform as well as expected. It was far from an easy experience,”


“I met my first husband in our estate in Kisumu, and we began courting. However, our courtship didn’t last for even a year before we started cohabiting. I went to visit him at his workplace in Eldoret, at Keiyo South Constituency, and I never returned home because he told me we were now living as husband and wife. I informed my family, and he informed his, and we started our life together as a couple,”

Asked how her husband and in-laws reacted when she was unable to have a child, she said “my mother-in-law didn’t like me from the very first day. Despite this, everything seemed to be going well after we got married in January 2006, until 2013 when I decided to stay at my in-laws’ home,”

The case of infertility in Africa is often times automatically thrown at the woman.More awareness needs to be carried out.Quite sad.
