He also questioned the actions of the  hospital' doctors for not detecting the second pregnancy.Hailing from a poor family,  Arifa said she was happy with the three children but felt concerned how she would bring them up.She said her husband earns barely 6,000 taka ($70) a month as a labourer. “I don’t know how we will manage such a huge responsibility with this little amount.”Her husband Sumon Biswas put on a brave face. “It was a miracle from Allah that all of my children are healthy. I will try my best to keep them happy,” he said.
