are always looked down upon. They
are treated with ignominy. Fate
decides the position of each woman is
especially when such a woman is able
to bear a male child from whom the family name is sustained. A case in point in Pokuwaa's
childlessness which was largely
decided by fate. Inspite of Pokuwaa's
rare sacrificial efforts, she could not
have a child. She even attributed her
situation to men's infertility. This made her to divorce and re-married but to

scapegoats by Pokuwaa's desperate

was beyond the immediate control of these two erstwhile husbands. ----------------------------------------------- (8) The story paints d picture of an
