Hi there!!

Giving birth to a girld child is not a fault of mother.
This can be explained by chromosomal theory.
A mother has 2X Chromosomes, while father has a X and a Y chromosomes. A mother can contribute only X chromosome by probability.
So the sex of the child is determined only by father.
If it is a X chromosome from father, then the child will be a girl, and if it is a Y chromosome then it will be a Boy child.
Answer:
Approach of society is baseless. Sex of child is determined by type of chromosome present in sperm (X or Y) that fuses with ovum at time of fertilization.
