Female foeticide:

  • Female foeticide is the procedure of detecting out the sex of the embryo and undergoing an abortion if it is a girl. But it is illegal; still, many people are still practicing it.
  • Preference for a male child, dowry system, cultural preference are few reasons for increasing number of female foeticide in India.
  • Apart from this, there are some groups that practice and supports female infanticide - the use of killing the baby girl once she is born.
  • This fact can be proved true by looking at the census of 2001 which convey that there are only 933 women in this nation for every 1000 men.
