Old Mr. Ma, aged 70, desired to marry for the second time after his first wife passed away prematurely. Interestingly, he requested a matchmaker to find him a woman as young as possible. Eventually, Mr. Ma fulfilled his wish by remarrying a 40-year-old woman.
Previously, many people advised Mr. Ma to marry someone of a similar age to foster greater harmony and avoid potential conflicts due to their age difference. However, disregarding the counsel of his loved ones, Mr. Ma insisted on marrying Ms. Dương, who was 30 years his junior and had been previously married without any children.

Mr. Ma owned three houses and two shops, enjoying a very comfortable life. He had a daughter with his first wife, but he still yearned for another child to carry on his legacy. To that end, he invested a significant amount of money in his health and well-being.
Additionally, he persuaded his new wife to bear him a child. Prior to their marriage, Ms. Dương shared that her ex-husband was infertile, which led to their divorce. To please his wife and encourage her to have a child with him, Mr. Ma spent lavishly on jewelry and designer items for her.
However, more than a year into their marriage, Mr. Ma’s wealth gradually diminished, and his young wife showed no signs of pregnancy. Strangely, Ms. Dương always found excuses to avoid physical intimacy with her elderly husband, claiming she wanted him to rest and conserve his energy.
Over time, Ms. Dương started going out frequently with her friends, leaving Mr. Ma alone and lonely in their spacious home. To prepare for his wife’s potential pregnancy, Mr. Ma had hired two housekeepers to take care of the household chores and cooking. This freed up Ms. Dương’s time to go shopping, hang out with friends, and socialize without her older husband.
As their relationship grew colder, and with his desire for a child unfulfilled, Mr. Ma decided to take his wife for a medical check-up. The results left him stunned. According to the doctor’s diagnosis, Ms. Dương was infertile due to multiple abortions.

It was then that Mr. Ma understood the truth. Ms. Dương was reluctant to have a child because she feared it would affect her figure and restrict her social life. In her previous marriage, she had chosen to abort pregnancies to maintain her freedom and appearance. Consequently, she had become unable to bear children.
Upon realizing this, Mr. Ma, heartbroken and disillusioned, decided to divorce his young wife, despite having loved her deeply.
Complications arising from multiple abortions:
– Recurrent miscarriage: Damage to the cervix and cervical canal from previous abortion procedures can lead to cervical incompetence and cervical weakness, resulting in miscarriages.
– Ectopic pregnancy: A weakened uterus and blocked fallopian tubes due to infections can cause the embryo to implant outside the uterus.
– Placenta praevia: The fertilized egg may implant in an unfavorable position within the uterus.
– Infertility: Inflammation and blockage of the fallopian tubes can lead to infertility.
