Fair point Becky. But if I may speculate a bit, consider this:
What if the mother’s ethnic or cultural background was such that admitting to her ”family” that she was pregnant – especially if the father wasn’t of her own ethnic background – could have resulted in her being thrown out or even murdered in an ”honour killing”.
What if she was raped by a man and was too ashamed to tell her ”family” or husband that she was pregnant as a result?
I really find it difficult to ”blame” a woman in these curcumstances – especially if she is in fear of her life.
Yes, I know it’s just speculation, but what if it’s true………..???
I agree PB Not just cos you have been very nice to me lately – but cos I do agree – honestly
Serioulsy though – we may never know the real reasons – or what actually did happen
