Infanticide (or infant homicide) is the intentional killing of infants. Neonaticide, killing within 24 hours of a child's birth, is most commonly done by the mother whereas infanticide of a child more than one day old is slightly more likely to be committed by the father.

In many past societies, certain forms of infanticide were considered permissible. In some countries, female infanticide is more common than the killing of male offspring, due to sex-selective infanticide

Female infanticide is leading to imbalance of sex ratio. There are more males then females. This is going to give females more power and dowry system will end. There are bad things to female infanticide too, there will be very less girls to marry to and make family.

India has the most female infanticide cases as compared to other countries and it has to stop or else people will face lots of complicatedness later on. Female infanticide is mostly done by low caste people. They think that girl won’t be able to take the place of a male. They think that female won’t be able to work and study. People of India think that female can only sit home and look after the kids and provide with meal to the whole family. People think that girl won’t be able to work at farms.

Women had reached till moon but still people think that they are useless. There is this permanent image of females in people’s mind that girl can’t take place of a male. Lower class people also think that having a girl is pointless because she won’t stay with them for whole life because she has to leave them after getting married. The girl won’t be able to keep the name of her family. She has to change her last name after getting married. In India, females are born to kill. They are not given chance to study.

They are sent to school only for few years and then they are told to sit home. They are forced to marry at very young age and have kids and young age. Then all they do is look after kids and put the meal on the table every night.

Female infanticide will become a huge issue later on our life. First of all, female infanticide is so common in India. The lower caste people think that the girl can’t take position of a guy. They also dominate the girls.
Secondly, Due to the poor dowry system prevailing they think that it is better than to have a boy rather than a girl.

Nonetheless, in addition to the dowry system, the reasons for this increasing trend have also been attributed to the patriarchal society, poverty and the availability of sex-selective abortion.

This eveil system is prevailing inmany of our rural regions. this act is causing an Imabalance in the sex ratio's . People must now be awaken must realize that girls are equally as important as boys.

She is the only one which holds the roots of their house and must be saved to take this world into future steps.

Intentional killing of infants after figuring out the gender is known as infanticide. Killing baby girls before their birth are termed as female infanticide. Until the last decade this phenomena was very frequent but because of strict rules and regulations of the government, this has been reduced. The notion and thoughts of society towards the female gender has encouraged this phenomenon. The society and its people consider girls to be a burden because of which after knowing the gender of the child they kill them in the womb.
