Pregnant woman decides to «procedure» at home.
In Peshawar, a woman drove a nail into her head while she was three months pregnant. She believed that this would help her give birth to a boy, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to Channel 24.
Pakistani already has three daughters. When she became pregnant for the fourth time, her husband threatened to leave her if another girl was born, and not a son.
Therefore, the woman allegedly went to a healer who said that in order for a boy to be born, it is necessary to drive a nail in her head.
The pregnant woman decided to have a «procedure» at home. Hearing her cry, the relatives rushed to the rescue and tried to pull the object out of the skull on their own. This could not be done — having lost consciousness and a bloody woman was taken to the hospital.
After coming to her senses, a Pakistani woman told the doctors that after such a rite, her neighbor had a son, although ultrasound showed daughter. The victim herself has not yet performed an ultrasound examination.
Law enforcement officers are investigating:
- The police are looking for a would-be healer who advises people to drive nails into the head and try to identify the patient from CCTV recordings.
- The nail penetrated quite deeply into the skull, so the question of whether the pregnant woman really hammered it herself also remains open.
< li> The doctor is also being investigated because he did not report the incident to law enforcement officers. For example, Peshawar Police Chief Abbas Ahsan spotted the incident on his own after photos of the woman « went viral» on social networks.
