But is it only done by GCC Arabs? Cos this topic happens to be very personal to me and I can vouch for it happening all around the world. Ie Fathers abandoning the children they sire out of wedlock. Some countries just don't have the legal system commanding the men to pay for child support etc thus the woman becomes the sole supporter of the child. It is unjust no doubt but again those in concern do know the risks involved many times.
