Answer 1

the sex determination should be banned necessarily bcoz in some part of india the people are killing baby girls in the womb.
bcoz they the girls are the curse on theur family.
it is banned in india but still some people do it illegally and kill baby girls
which is the biggest crime to kill girls before seeing this world

Answer 2

Hey there,

Amniocentesis is a way to find out the sex of the foetus that was used in earlier days.

But now it is banned because it has started to result in female foeticide.

So yes this ban was necessary for the social and economic status of women.

Their were several laws passed against it.

Thanks!
