Female Foeticide: Reason Behind It.

Female foeticide or killing the girl child before birth is one of the main problem in  india these days. Lot of discussions,compaigns,advertisements are trying to convince the people but nothing helps and the ratio of male to female is decreasing day by day. Different people have different views. some says that the law aginst it is not implemented properly, there should be hard punishment or penalty for it. But i don't think anything is going to help because there is not a single reason behind it. Different families have different opinions and even if we speak to them, they do justify themselves in one or other way.

Firstly ,you people will agree to the fact that everyone whether he is rich or poor,educated or uneducated, wants to have a son. There is nothing wrong in it. both daughter and son are needed in a family and only then a family seemed to be complete. girl and boy can't substitute each other. Both have their own place in the society and even in the family. Now the question arises that if someone has already one or two daughters, is it right for him to get tested the sex of unborn baby? if not, then how many kids one can afford in the modern time. Can we afford three, four or five kids in these days. Definitely not.So what will that person do? No one will have the answer or most of us will say that he should have to leave averything on the luck or destiney. Can we people do it?it depends on the mentality of a person that what he think about it because different people have different views and arguements for it.But  no one can ever say that it is justified to kill a girl in mother's womb is not a crime. its not crime to wish for having a son but it is crime to kill someone for that.

Second reason is that everyone is concerned about the unborn girls who are killed. Laws are made against it. But what about the girls who have to die everyday after the birth. She die when no is ready to marry her if her parents can't afford a luxury car and lot of money for her marriage. Then she has to die when no one care for her self respect or emotions in the in-laws house. She has to die if she give birth to only girl child and not a boy.(Even though we all know that only man have the y cromosomes which are responsible for having a boy).

Third reason is the thinking. Here i am not saying that its illiteracy because female foeticide or sex determination is not get doen by uneducated people only,it is done in by educated people more. People still think that girl child is a burden or liability for them. whereas, son is considered to be an asset.

Another reason is the Govt polocies. In india there is no child benefit, no child tax credit. So peolple who have two or three daughters, is Govt going to help them financially? So that they may provide good education to their daughters and get them married without any hurdle.(main hurdle is dowry. in these days on the marriage of one daughter, parents have to spend Rs. 10 to 15 lakhs).

Now question arises that, what should be done?I would say that its not the women who have to come forward against it, men have to come forward against the female foeticide. Indian society is a male dominated society. Still all important decisions are taken be men in the family. So they have to take a step to stop taking dowry, give respect to the women in the family as well as in the soiety and raise a vioce against it. On the other hand instead of spending money on discussions, compaigna and Advertisment against female ferticide, Govt,. should provide free schooling to the girls and also help the families who have more than one girl child. Above all we all have to join hands to save our society from this kind of curse and make sure that no one ever say that indians are so cruel that they kill their own daughters. They should remeber india for its culture of treating the girls as 'Kanjak',who is worshipped like a Goddess.
