Nyeri Woman Ditches Marriage After Husband Refuses To Support Daughter With Disability: "Anasema Hana Pesa"

• Grace Waweru endured a lot in her marriage, especially after delivering a child with a disability whom her husband disliked
• Waweru and her daughter Beth were asked to undergo circumcision, a practice which the mum of five vehemently refused
• The woman from Nyeri lost provision as her husband stopped caring for them and would spend months away from home

Nyeri - A distressed woman has dumped her marriage life to save herself and her children from her uncaring husband.

Grace Waweru said she had persevered through humiliation from her husband ever since she gave birth to Beth, their daughter living with a disability.

The heartbroken mother of five said her lover looked down on the young girl and her mother, not showing care for them and their other children.

Operation in Naivasha

Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, the woman born in a family of seven narrated her husband's disappearance as Beth grew.

"He could go for three months without returning home. Whenever I called him to ask why he was not coming, he would say he was sending money to me. When I was delivering my twins, I called my husband and told him I had been referred to Naivasha for an operation.

He said he had no money. I told him I was not in good condition, but he asked me whether I wanted him to fly so that he could come and take me to the hospital," she stated.

Waweru recalled one day, her husband suggested that she and the daughter Beth be circumcised, which her mother-in-law backed.

Rebellion causes rift in marriage

Beth's mum could not agree to such a practice which made her consider leaving her matrimonial home.

She said her rebellion brought a massive rift in her marriage, with her husband taking close to six months before returning home.

The Nyeri woman worked on farms and manual labours to fend for her family as her husband stopped providing for them.
