A 60-YEAR-OLD woman who finally had a baby after five rounds of fertility treatment has been dumped by her husband.

Atifa Ljajic was left by her partner after beating the odds and getting pregnant following decades of trying.

Serif Nokic, 68, decided to leave her on the day baby Alina arrived in Novi Pazar, in western Serbia’s Raska District.

He said he was worried the newborn would keep him up at night with her crying.

When asked about abandoning Atifa, Serif said: "She got what she wanted, now she is happy."

Serif claims that living with a baby at his age would be too damaging to his health.

Atifa also has health problems, including high blood pressure, but says she is ready to raise her daughter alone.

Alina is Atifa's first child, but Serif already has children from his first marriage.

Atifa claims that Serif wants to go back to Turkey where they live.

Atifa was considered a high-risk pregnancy and was in hospital for the three months leading up to Alina's birth.

Serif had repeatedly warned his wife about the dangers of carrying a baby at her age.

But he claims he went with the idea even though he had opposed it at first.

Now, Alina will not even have his last name as he refused to have her registered as his daughter.

The couple are thought to have used an anonymous sperm donor.

Atifa, who worked in a textile factory, says she will raise her baby by herself even though she has little money.

She is a cousin of Rasim Ljajic, Serbia's Minister of Trade and Deputy Prime Minister, but says she has no relatives who can help her.

She added: "I knew it would be a big risk at my age, but my only wish in my life was that I have a child, and it happened to me.

"I was not afraid of my life at all, God gave me courage. I have never felt better."

The oldest ever mum is thought to be Daljinder Kaur, who reportedly gave birth at the age of 72 in April 2016.
