However, the story does not end there. The central tragedy unfolds when her daughter grows up. The young girl, now an adult, falls in love and is set to be married. On her wedding day, her future in-laws learn of her mother’s dark past. They use this as an excuse to reject the bride, cruelly telling Eteima: "We cannot accept a daughter-in-law whose mother is a prostitute." The story ends on this devastating note, highlighting how a mother's ultimate sacrifice for her child becomes an eternal source of shame and social rejection for them both.
