Article Claims Mom Got Pregnant by Son on Purpose

What is published in the media isn't always the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, for many reasons that I'm not going to get into right now. Almost of the people in consanguinamorous relationships I am in personal contact with avoid media attention due the legal and social risks of being outed. Those who have already been outed and prosecuted have more freedom to speak up, but others remain quiet, going about their lives being good people but being treated like second-class citizens because of their love. This makes me a bit skeptical of news articles about people in consanguinamorous relationships that include their names and pictures. The blog Incest Experiences had an entry about a news item that caught my eye. Here's what Monte wrote on the blog...

I want to preference this by saying I’ve only been able to find one link for this article and I can’t find any information on the location of this story.  Needless to say I find the story fascinating even though there is very few details on the couple.

40 year old Mbereko, who was widowed 12 years ago, has been living with her first child, 23 year old Farai Mbereko.  Yes, she is living with her 23 year old son, but that’s just the beginning of this families story.  She confirms that she’s six months pregnant and that she has decided it’s better to “marry” her son because she doesn’t want to marry her late husband’s young brothers, whom she says are coveting her. 

Why should she have to marry anybody? But if she wants to marry Farai, she should be free to do so.

Of course, we are ALL curious what the 23 year old Ferai has to say about marrying AND supporting his mother and their child.  Apparently he is MORE than ready to do just that.  Not to mention he doesn’t want people to call his mother a whore.  But there is at least one guy who isn’t happy for the incestuous couple, local headman Nathan Muputirwa, is that man and he had this to say: “We cannot allow this to happen in our village, mashura chaiwo aya, (This is a bad omen indeed).  In the past they would have to be killed but today we cannot do it because we are afraid of the police.”.  He is so against the idea of the couple getting married he wanted to KILL THEM!  But luckily he is afraid of the law and instead decided to just banish them from the village.

Well, banishment is better than violence, but it is still ridiculous

Here is the article from blackmediascoop.com. Check out the ever-so-enlightened comments if you want to shake your head.

They are adults. Let's them be together, marry, and raise their child(ren.) An adult should be free to share love, sex, residence, and marriage with any and all consenting adults, without prosecution, bullying, banishment, or discrimination. If this article is truth, it is sad that people would be so prejudiced as to drive lovers away.
