Meet Indian Woman Who Faked Being A Man For 36 Years To Protect Her Daughter by ogbiwa: 6:35am On May 30, 2022
A crafty woman reportedly spent 36 years pretending to be a man to protect her daughter and keep herself safe from stalkers.

S.Petchiammal from the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India, made the unusual sacrifice for decades while raising the child alone.

Married when she was 20, she tragically lost her husband while pregnant with his daughter only 15 days after their wedding — and quickly found life as a single mum a struggle in the strict, traditional and sometimes unsafe environment of her village.

Petchiammal eventually decided to move away, and began to cut her hair and change her clothing after a personal visit to Tiruchendur Murugan Temple, where she rechristened herself with the name ‘Muthu’.

The devoted mum then spent the rest of her life keeping her true identity a secret from everyone but her daughter and close members of family as she took on a range of manual jobs, including work in construction, hotels and tea shops.

Revealing the story of her life in disguise as a man, Ms Petchiammal told the New India Express: “We resettled at Kattunayakkanpatti over 20 years ago. Only my close relatives back home and my daughter knew that I am a woman,”

"I did all kinds of jobs, from working as a painter, tea master, parotta master to 100-day work. I saved every penny to ensure a safe and secure life for my daughter"

"After days, Muthu [a male name] turned to be my identity, which in turn was mentioned on all documents, including Aadhaar, Voter ID, and bank account."

Petchiammal added that while her daughter has now married, she is not willing to revert back to female attire yet as she thinks the identity she took on gave her child a "safer life" — and so believes she should die as the same person.

Wowwww

If I meet the woman, I have some personal questions I would ask, things that need clarification.

But I know I'll never meet her, so I'll just say
Congratulations to her, she's a strong mother.

SHE MUST BE EITHER ATIKU OR TINUBU.

MRS. ABACHA HAS JUST OPENED UP AN AMERICAN UNIVERSITY IN KANO AND BY ATIKU'S STYLE.

WE HAVE NOT HEARD HOW ABACHA'S LOOT RETURNED FROM AMERICA WAS EXPENSED.

Most Nigerian mother have too many children to pay sufficient attention to each of them.
