For Women

What if your partner can't make babies? 

10 women explain what they'd do if they found out that they married someone who only fires blanks.

While companionship might be the biggest thing marriage offers, having kids comes pretty close in importance.

Actually, marital realities of the society even suggests that the presence of kids matter to some people more than companionship.

The average Nigerian wants, at least, two kids. Sadly though, not everyone gets this wish fulfilled.

This happens, sometimes, as a result of being with a sterile man.

And because having babies is such a big deal to us as a society, we asked women to tell us what they'd do if they married, only to find out that the husband is sterile...

• "I honestly don't know what I'd do [but really], I want kids." - Jay, 25.
• "We’ll adopt. [It's actually not a big deal, really.]
• It’ll only be a problem if he knew from the onset and didn’t say." - Dee, 25.
