Translator: ok. I understand your point and I agree with you. Most of the jobs that I have had back home require that you put in a certain amount of time before you are eligible for maternity (or paternity) leave. My current contract, however, does not allow for any maternity leave and if I were to get pregnant, I would have to leave the country immediately. So it's not just teachers. However, I knew that clause was in my contract when I signed it.

SNDM: Just because a woman is married doesn't mean that she will become pregnant. I think he means that plans should be made for when a couple is trying to have a child.
