I have never witnessed widows facing such injustice in my life. I know two widows who lost their husband in their prime time of life and as far as I know their husband's family still take care of their children without any hesitation. It maybe because I am living in a matriarchal community, in my place after marriage girls don't move to husband's house instead man is moving to wife's house.
Oh really...which place are you from..I want to come there😄
The lady i was talked about didnt have kids when husband passed away. So I guess it was easy to break ties.
