Is it justified to leave a marriage because your partner can't have kids?

Is it justified to leave a marriage because your partner can't have kids? Plus Nihal talks to the producer of the film Journey to Mecca. And how much would you pay for shoes?

At 1, Nihal asks Is it justified to leave a marriage because your partner can't have kids? We're asking this question because of a story that's come out of India. A woman has finally become a mother for the first time at the age of 66 after IVF treatment. Her husband is obviously delighted to have children after 44 years of marriage but he said something interesting. He left three wives in his quest to have a child. We're asking today is that justified? Obviously the vast majority of married couples want to start a family at some point but if you were married and found out either your husband or wife couldn't have kids would you leave?

If you haven't yet been, but it's something you've always wanted to, how would you feel about seeing it through the eyes of the cinema?
