Doctors send woman to psychiatric hospital after false claim of giving birth to 10 children

According to international media, the 37-year-old African woman, who desired to be entered in the Guinness Book of World Records and claimed to have given birth to 10 children was arrested on charges of cheating.

After investigating the incident, it was found out that the woman had lied and no child had been born in her house nor she was pregnant.

However, the woman was arrested on charges of lying and fraud.

The woman was found to be mentally ill and was taken to the hospital for treatment.

South African officials, on the other hand, vehemently denied any woman of giving birth to 10 children, saying that no woman here had given birth to 10 children and that the news was based on lies.

The woman's claim was first denied by her father and later by the hospital administration.

Her father also said that he had not yet seen his grandchildren.

According to the media, the news of the birth of 10 children spread very fast, after which the police found the woman to check out the truth where they found out that the claim was based on a lie.

Police arrested the woman on charges of cheating and conducted a medical examination and later admitted her to a psychiatric hospital on the advice of doctors.

Earlier, Gosiame Thamara Sithole, 37 claimed to have given birth to 10 children at the same time, setting a Guinness World Record.

"Her wife has given birth to 10 children," said Tebogo Tsotetsi, husband of Gosiame Thamara Sithole, 37. 

According to Tebogo Tsotetsi, his wife has given birth to seven boys and three girls through a Cesarean delivery.

In May this year, a woman in Morocco gave birth to nine children and was named in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Sithole, who has six-year-old twins, previously told an international news outlet that her pregnancy was natural as she was not on fertility treatment.

Speaking to the media, Tsotetsi said Sithole gave birth to their bundles of joy 29 weeks into her pregnancy.

"There are seven boys and three girls," he said. The wife was seven months and seven days pregnant. I'm very happy, I'm getting emotional right now, I can't talk much. '

In an interview last month, Sethol said she was "shocked" when doctors said after a medical scan that she had six children.

"Initially it was very difficult and she fell ill," she said. I always prayed that the children would be healthy and that the stage of motherhood would pass easily.

Sithole broke the record of most children born at the same birth held by Cissé, who gave birth to nine children (nonuplets) at a hospital in Morocco last month.
