Answer:
Female foeticide is a curse in today’s India, especially in rural areas. The frequency of female foeticide in India is increasing day by day.
The irony is even elderly women hate girl child. They do not realize one thing, that they too were born as a girl child and became women as they get aged. But totally forget everything and straightaway hate girl children.
Female foeticide is a symptom of an underlying malady. Its incidence is increasing as families perceive that bearing daughters does not make economic sense and does not provide any social advantages. Added to that is generations of bias that favours bearing a male child.
This is evident from the declining sex ratio which has dropped to alarming levels, especially in the northern states according to Census 2001 reports. The proliferation and abuse of advanced technologies coupled with social factors contributing to the low status of women such as dowry, concerns with family name and looking up to the son as a breadwinner has made the evil practice of female foeticide to become common in the middle and higher socioeconomic households, especially in the northern states, followed by some southern states in recent times.
Despite the existence of the Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques Act, there is a dire need to strengthen this law since the number of convictions is despairingly low as compared to the burden posed by this crime.
The preference for a son continues to be a prevalent norm in the traditional Indian household. Parents also give too much importance to a boy child, groom him by giving all attention, all facilities thinking that they would take care of them when they get aged. Now the reality is most of such boys once they attain manhood and when they settled in life with lots of wealth and other facilities totally forget their parents and go away with their wive and kids to lead an independent life.
