Valentin (all witnesses requested anonymity) “always wanted” being a father of a little girl. He can’t really say why, except that he grew up surrounded by a sister and five cousins, whom he enjoyed taking care of as the eldest. However, during his wife’s pregnancy, the 29-year-old computer developer has constantly claimed that the sex of the baby “didn’t matter”, even with his partner – who also claimed to not care. Don’t want to“embarrass yourself with it”, although she had previously suffered a miscarriage.

(…) Why didn’t Allah give me a daughter, a little sister for Chelsea, a princess for me? »she asks herself, her voice full of melancholy once morest the background of the piano, before concluding: “It is a blessing to have sons, it is a protection for a mother. It took me a few days to accept it. »
