Salome narrated the heartbreaking story of her marriage to a man who initially hid his inability to father children. Later, he gave her permission to seek another man to impregnate her, promising to raise the children as his own. However, he eventually kicked her out along with the three children.
Born and raised as part of a large family, Salome only managed to attend school up to Form 3. Due to financial constraints, she dropped out and started working as a house help. During this time, she fell in love with a man who impregnated her.

Her strict mother refused to allow Salome to stay home while pregnant. Left with no choice, Salome sought another house help job in a nearby village. One of her employer’s sons showed interest in her despite her pregnancy.
Months later, the two began living together, and the man took full responsibility for raising and providing for her child. However, despite not using family planning methods, Salome did not conceive. Her husband started pressuring her to have another child, prompting her to explain that she wasn’t on any contraception and was waiting to conceive naturally.
Years passed, and when her firstborn turned 10, the man confessed that he was impotent. He then urged Salome to find another man to impregnate her, hoping to hide his infertility. Salome, hesitant at first, decided to consult his parents and her father. They supported the idea, encouraging her to proceed while keeping it a secret, revealing that similar situations had occurred in the family before.
Salome followed the advice and soon became pregnant. Her husband was overjoyed when she shared the news and took good care of her throughout the pregnancy. However, after the birth of her third child, his behavior drastically changed. He turned to alcohol and began physically and verbally abusing her.
His remarks about “taking the children to their fathers” eventually led her firstborn, now 16 years old, to realize that the man was not his biological father. Despite Salome’s efforts to keep the family intact, her husband ultimately kicked her and the children out, offering no financial or emotional support.
