Durban - Keshnie Mathi was unable to give her son the funeral he deserved when she miscarried six years ago, and she has not come to terms with this.
“I didn’t get a chance to bury my son Aaron, to hold him, or even to see him, although he would have been the size of a grapefruit,” said Mathi, 39, of Johannesburg.
She said she was glad the Pretoria High Court had ruled last week that women who miscarried at 26 weeks or less of pregnancy could now bury their babies. The women would also be issued death certificates on request.
