Woman Dies After Husband Forced Her To Have 4 Abortions In A Year Because He Wanted A Son

A Chinese woman has reportedly passed on, after she was forced to go through series of abortions, totaling 4, in a year, all because her husband wanted a son.

The woman, who had one daughter, was told by her husband to terminate her pregnancies whenever the medical scan showed she was carrying a girl, according to Chinese media.

Her husband was said to have proposed a divorce earlier this year after the woman had been left bedridden by the traumatic medical operations.

According to a report on Huanqiu.com, an affiliation to People's Daily Online, the mother, named Yueyue, gave birth to a baby girl in Shengangzhen of Wuhu, Anhui Province.
