Question

what are the reasons for the female foeticide

Answer 1

1.cultural preference: males were preferred because they provide manual labour and bring sucess to the family

2.India's weak social security system:Another reason for this male preference is based on the economic benefits of having a son and the costs of having a daughter. In India, there is a very limited social security system so parents look to their sons to ensure their futures and care for them in old age. Daughters are liabilities because they have to leave to another family once they are married and cannot take care of their parents

3.Dowry system: In some parts of india, parents think that having a girl child means losing money because they have to pay for her education as well as give dowry to the girl's husband-to-be
