The woman has a teenage boy whom she gave birth in 2001 at home. At that time, the woman's parents had called the ambulance.

The woman told the court that she did not dare to go to a doctor or visit the pre-natal clinic because she already had a stillbirth in 2005 and visiting a clinic would have made it clear that she had given birth previously.
She said that she had experienced financial difficulties and the father of the child born in 2005 had blackmailed her financially. In addition, the man had prevented her from visiting the clinic.
The woman said she had been happy with her pregnancy in 2010. Despite being happy with the pregnancy, she lied that she had a miscarriage. The woman admitted she had marital problems in her last two pregnancies and that her husband was away from home a lot.
The accused said that she feels great sorrow for her actions and presented before the court a letter she had written to her relatives during the pre-trial investigation. In the letter she had expressed deep regret and sorrow which she said she will bear for the rest of her life.
