They had three children together, however, one of them unfortunately died.

Due to the pain, she bore during the loss, she told her husband that two children were enough and promised that they will be raised well.

But he became angry and informed his father. The woman’s father-in-law told her that she should have 12 children because the in-laws have the same number.
