1:59
love toward the daughter he always used
2:01
the condition of my making myself
2:03
available for his sexual plures as a pre
2:05
condition to visit our daughter or show
2:06
some fatherly love to her the applicant
2:09
apart from his craving for sex only
2:10
comes around to spend time with our
2:12
daughter when he wants to use our
2:13
daughter for his Minal STS or promotions
2:15
the applicant has always been known to
2:17
go away and stop communicating with our

school fees and or payment of
2:21
maintenance for our daughter whenever I
2:23

noticed that the intention of the
2:50
applicant for coming late at night to my
