The Story of a Girl Who Became a Victim of Tradditional Fanaticism

A preacher once asked, What makes you believe that you are your mothers child?
What proof have you? The same preacher answered the question: The only proof
you have is because your mother told you so. And you believe her.

The Q&A set me thinking and I arrived at the idea that there could be a possibility where
even the mother could not prove that the baby she is holding in her arms is hers.

This is the case with Tienas mother who was ranting and raving, How can anybody
prove that I am not the mother of the baby I carried in my womb for nine months and
had her delivered in a recognized maternity hospital by a qualified midwife, and there
are records to show for that?
