| Description |
India has an age old fascination with the boy child and considers the birthof a girl as a bad investment in future. A girl is considered to be consumer ratherthan a producer, and this narrow viewpoint of the Indian patriarchal society haslead to horrid practices like female infanticide and female foeticide. There is societal pressure for women to have male children and failurestend to feel guilty after giving birth to a girl. Such women are at risk of beingbeaten and rejected by their husbands. This can even lead to rejection by in -lawsand by the society as a whole. Keeping in view the above discourse the presentpaper aims to study the attitude of society towards female foeticide. |
