The husband, in Gīkūyū culture is in charge of the wellness of his wife’s and children. For instance, the husband is responsible for taking his wife to hospital when she is sick. The mother reports a sick child to the father and the father takes the wife and child to the doctor. If there is something bad happening between the couples, the wife or child may delay the doctor’s visit and the condition worsens and it can be fatal. Anything the wife decides must be approved by the wife. In safe occurrence the result is okay, but in an emergency situation the end may end up dangerous to the victim. If the wife makes her decision without the husband’s approval it indicates that her intention is to overrule the husband or to play loose out his rule and go out in other motives to meet another man in the name of visit to a doctor. The husband may be suspicious whether the doctor has become a friend or wife where there are numerous visits to the hospital, is my wife really sick or is it a love appointment. One instance may had happened out there out of one hundred and may had sounded alarming to the ears of the husband. But above all no wife leaves home without her husband’s knowledge since the jobs were in the farming and the home on the same land, the neighborhood market and river to get water near land if not in the land. Most wives take easy for emergency conditions and may not reverse a delayed condition to avoid showing weakness as a way to go out there and perform personal business behind her husband. The lifestyles have changed and Gīkūyū mothers or women need to visit a doctor once every year to affirm that everything is functioning the right way. Most women die and if they had learned it was their responsibility to care for their health they would have lived because they would have visited the clinic on time with no fear of being distrusted and get help before the condition gets out of hand. The women as mothers close to their children must learn to take their children to the clinic without waiting for permission from the husband because of fear of using the sickness as an opportunity to go meet another man.
