Wife Faces Dilemma After Affair with Nephew of Husband

Accra: A woman whose husband travelled abroad about 10 years ago has found herself in a web of trouble after being impregnated by the nephew of the man. Narrating her ordeal on the popular morning show Ahenfie Nkommo, on Ahenefie FM, the woman said that before the man travelled, he brought the son of his younger brother to stay with her. She said that she started having an affair with the young man and is now pregnant. She further stated that her trouble now is that her husband is returning to Ghana, and she does not know what to do.

According to Ghana Web, the woman added that keeping the child would bring her disgrace, and she is also not too sure about undergoing an abortion. 'I'm a married woman, and my husband travelled abroad. Before leaving, he brought his younger brother's son to stay. I have been having sex with the young man, and I'm now pregnant. My husband says he is coming home this month, and I don't know what to do,' she lamented in the Twi dialect. She disclosed that her pregnancy was about three months old.

The host of the programme, renowned broadcaster Ohenei Adzazoa, said that she could not offer any advice to the woman. 'This is beyond me. Because I can't advise the woman to adopt the pregnancy, and I cannot also tell you to wait and tell your husband about it,' the journalist said. She went on to advise the woman to speak to her pastor for advice before making any decision on her plight.
