A fight started over money which was becoming a problem in the house since the man did not want to spend his money on anything so she confronted the husband over the issue and told him that she was leaving him. Alayika was beaten severely to the extend of being hospitalized for three months. She at one time thought of committing suicide because of the scars which she now possesses on her arms and the forehead. Alayika received counseling from the Musasa project.
