A young pregnant woman is offering to sell her unborn child after the husband dumped her.
According to a local tabloid, 26-year-old Ruvarashe Taruvinga has put up her unborn baby on sale in a desperate effort to raise money to support her other child, who is physically disadvantaged.
The mother of two girls revealed that her life took a turn for the worst when the husband, Tawanda Banda (33), dumped her after giving birth to a child with disability.
“Life has not been fair to me and I nearly committed suicide.
My husband and in-laws neglected my child living with disability arguing that there was no one with such a condition in their family, she said.
Taruvinga claims that her husband allegedly tampered with her family planning tablets to get her pregnant. She said her husband is now staying in Malawi.
“My husband devised a plan to impregnate and dump me.
“He has since left for Malawi where he is now living.
Taruvinga, who plies her trade as a vendor, said she doesn’t want another baby since she is already struggling to make ends meet.
“I didn’t want another child considering the life I am living where I am failing to support this child on my back.
Taruvinga said that she decided to put her unborn child on sale so that she can buy a wheelchair for her five-year-old child and also help her get good education. She hopes that she will be able to find a couple willing to buy her baby.
“I love the neglected child. She is my gift from God so I want money, as well as a wheelchair, to help her access everything, including education.
If I can find a couple that wants to pay for the child in my womb, I’d be grateful,” she added.
Taruvinga revealed that according to scan records she is expecting a baby boy and she is due in June.
