Outspoken marriage Counselor Charlotte Oduro has sent a strong warining to the society to cease from asking women when they will give birth.
In Ghanaian society, people have a penchant for asking married women when they will give birth. This, it is believed, puts unnecessary pressure on married women who have no control over when they will give birth.
Speaking on this issue, Charlotte Oduro indicated that it is high time people desist from such acts.
To her, no one has the right to question any woman when she intends to give birth.
“Don’t ask married women when they will give birth. Don’t intimidate them with your children. The fact that a woman does not have children does not mean she is useless. She has other things to impact society, and that should be the focus.”
She used the opportunity to call on husbands to stand by their wives during these trying times, saying, “When women marry for one or two years and the children are not coming, the pressure starts to mount, so if they do not have a husband who is mature and will stand by her in all things, there will be a problem and they will be depressed. They will go to every length and that does not help”.
