Answers
Explanation:
Make a Precis of the following passage and give it a suitable heading :
Women, who constitute half of the human population, are encountered with many challenges.
Female foeticide is, perhaps, one of the worst form of violence against the women, where
a woman is denied her most basic and fundamental rights i.e. "The Right to Life'. Though
there is no particular definition of foeticide provided by the code of criminal procedure but
the following definition will clear your concept. "Female foeticide” is the killing of a
healthy female foetus in order to get rid of a female child by means of medical termination
of Pregnancy (MTP) or Abortion. Female foeticide is considered a criminal offence in
India. Abortion is lawful only when the doctor believes that the continuance of the pregnancy
may pose a direct threat to the life or the health of the mother or the unborn child. No
doubt, if this practice continues, it will disturb the social balance. For a healthy society, the
male and female gender ratio must remain at a balanced level. The alarming rate of female
foeticide is a cause of great concern, as the number of girls born is decreasing drastically
in several sections of our society, thus exposing females to more exploitation and violence.
This state of affairs, if not corrected, will have a disastrous impact on the future generation
of our society.
