Nairobi Man Sues Former Girlfriend for Denying Him Presence in Her Pregnancy Journey
A Nairobi man has filed a case against his former girlfriend for not allowing him to be present in her pregnancy journey.
In the case before High Court Judge Mugure Thande, the man wants the court to compel the woman to allow him to take part in her pregnancy journey as the father to the unborn twins she is carrying.
The man, identified as EMM in court papers, pleaded with the court to be allowed to offer help to the woman named JNC until she delivers her twin children.
EMM claims JNC has refused to accept his help even though he is lawfully entitled to offer responsibilities as a father to the unborn children.
"The respondent has consistently rejected to associate me or let me in with the pregnancy journey despite having full knowledge that I have been desirous of having children and becoming a father and a present one at that," says EMM as quoted by The Standard.
"I have responsibilities over the unborn children which responsibilities the respondent is blocking me from doing. I therefore pray that this court compels the respondent to allow me to be present during the pregnancy journey and be present after the expected twin babies have been born."
EMM says he met the respondent in 2020 and got into a romantic relationship before they parted ways in February 2022.
He told the court that they previously lost two pregnancies and now that they have a third one, he would love to be part and parcel of the journey up to delivery time.
"I am constantly stressed and worried about the safety and future of my babies as I have been left in the dark on the pregnancy journey, despite the full knowledge that I have been desirous of having children," EMM adds.
Justice Thande admitted she was bewildered by the matter, given that most men opt to flee from a relationship whenever their lovers are pregnant.
"The petitioner/applicant is aware that life begins at conception as per provisions of Article 26 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and that he is keen to be present in the lives of his unborn children," the judge said.

Well, that's the "natural" power women have over men. They carry the baby in their womb. This is no more different than women withholding sex to get what they want-PoP(power of pussy)And there is nothing aman can do to change that till the time SCIENCE comes with artificial wombs readly available for men.They have artifical women,but the price is not within the reach of Joe-six-pac. I say this tongue in cheeks,knowing that it takes two for ababy to be created.And two to raise it.
What confounds me here is that, here is a father,hopefully he is the father,who wants and is ready to help raise his baby,and it's the mother who is frustration his efforts.Generally it's women chasing men and accusing them of being deadbeat.Are we going to see more of these till we reach"equilibrium"?Meaning both parties equally resposible for the child in every way?

Bro, women go a series of off base decisions when pregnant. My daughter hated me as I was told when my ex was pregnant. But she's a daddy's girl now.
Please don't push, after birth, you will be the most important Male in your children's life.

Hello Mr. EMM, ( I don't know why you cannot use your real names? May be you know you are wasting courts time); it's a former girl friend. That means you are out of the picture. She may be sparing you the rude shock of meeting the real father of the twins. You keep insisting that you're the father- may be you are wrong. And you are not lawfully entitled to anything until the children are born, DNA taken and fatherhood Proven. You two are not married- the only thing the two of you have in common is history- the former boyfriend- girl friend that you both abandoned.
