A pregnant Pakistani woman, who had three daughters, had a nail hammered into her head by a faith healer who said it would guarantee that she gave birth to a boy.

The injured woman was admitted at the Lady Reading Hospital in northwestern Peshawar city where she underwent surgery to remove the nail from her skull, according to Pakistani media reports.

The pregnant woman arrived at the Lady Reading Hospital in the city of Peshawar with the two-inch nail pierced into the top of her forehead. Pictured: X-ray of the nail in the woman's head

"God is not a human being that He should change His mind.God's blessings are immutable and unchangeable.Prayer does not change His mind.Unscrupulous 'Babas'(Faith healers) Make innocent,'jahil','Gwaar'(Ignorant,illiterate and stupid) people make believe that they had spiritual powers to change the baby girl in the womb to a baby boy proving correctness of Punjabi phrase {" Leikh(Kismat,Karma) 'Ch' (Short for 'vich'-Inside)  'Meikh'(Nail) 'Maarna'( Hit)},literally meaning(Changing the destiny) and the' Fake babas' are playing with human lives for a petty gain"
