Man beats wife after she delivers baby girl

An Arab expatriate in Saudi Arabia stormed into the gynaecology section in a hospital, woke up his wife and beat her up for delivering a baby girl, newspapers reported on Thursday.

The unnamed husband was later overpowered and taken out by staff members and security at the hospital in the central town of Makkah.

He then accused the hospital of swapping his baby as his wife had told him previous x-rays had shown she was pregnant with a boy.

But doctors tried to calm him down and told him x-rays are not always accurate in identifying the sex of the baby.

X-Rays of a fetus??

IDK, is this even a real earth story or from the planet Bizarro?

Men like him should be shot. He's mad because his wife didn't birth him a baby boy but he ought to be mad at himself, as it's the fathers DNA that dictates the gender of the child.

Yeah, that's the second thing I thought, i.e. letting a pregnant woman anywhere near an x-ray machine.

BTW, right on Cat!

How horrible for the woman & the baby. I can only imagine the resentment he will probably have toward her.

I second that motion. Somebody ought to beat him. Matter of fact, somebody ought to string him up and beat every part of his body till he doesn't have a whole bone left.

THe sad thing is, this happens in other countries, as well. India, where girls are seen as bad luck, China, though China is slowly changing. In some counries, the murder rate for infant girls is so high that they`re now seeing great gender imbalance - 6 out of 10 kids in a classroom are boys in some communties. ITA that that guy needs to be beaten up!
