“The son, who is also a disgrace to the brotherhood, was standing there and incapable of defending the mother of his two children.

“Is it a crime to be married? saying that I should pack out of my husband’s house. You brought your mother to come and hit me…me that I am pregnant! Asking a pregnant woman to leave the house in the presence of my children. The mother is beating me and he is watching it.”
The distraught wife could be heard asking her husband to ‘carry his mother and go.’
“Carry your mother and go where? I am sleeping here,” the supposed mother in-law roared in the background

The pregnant woman insisted she is not leaving and asked her husband to leave her alone.
A young child could be heard telling her pregnant mum ”It’s enough”
The video has sparked a debate about domestic violence.
