The woman noted she struggles to care for the kids, aged six to 28, as she has no help.

"I take care of the children alone after my husband abandoned me. I was married off to him by my father when I was a very young girl, and because of the age gap, there was no love or relationship. He also had four more wives whom he cared for," she told YouTuber Drew Binsky.

Nabatanzi said her husband, who was 45 when he bought her from her father, left him because she was very fertile.

She said her husband could not stand her bearing more children and walked away from her and the few kids they had.

"Most men only care for their children when they have grown up. For instance, if it is a girl, the parent would only want to be close with them because they would bring the family money through dowry," Brinsky's interpreter, Harriet, said.
