A woman, from Benue state in Nigeria, continually slept with her son from her first marriage in order to have children with her second husband.

Mrs. Veronica Iorshe, 47, from Howe, Ugee Council Ward, wanted a child with her second husband, Sebastian Iorshe, 44, from Aliade but when that didn’t work, she decided to go the extreme to make that happen.

After losing her first husband in a tragic accident she met Sebastian and after courtship, got married. After 8 years of marriage, they were still unable to get a baby.

Checkup

Veronica suggested to Sebastian that they go for a medical checkup to find out where the problem was from, but he resisted.

Since she didn’t know who had the problem between herself and her husband, she decided to test how fertile she was by sleeping with her son, Simon, who is now 26 years old.

Low sperm count

She soon discovered she was pregnant. When she broke the news to her husband, he denied being responsible for the child. Subsequent tests showed that he had a low sperm count that would make it impossible to father a child.

“I am not a loose woman. I am just a woman who loves her husband very much and didn’t want to lose him. I did what I did to save my marriage even though I feel guilty about it. It was not easy but I slept with my first son from my first husband so that I could give my husband a child.'' narrated the distraught woman.

She has since been disowned by her husband who vowed never to forgive her.
