An investigation into abortions that select child sex was initiated by magistrates in the northern district of India after the government showed that none of the 216 children born in 132 villages for three months was a girl.
Authorities in Utttarkashi, of the state of Utarakhand, said the official birth figures were “alarming” and pointed the finger at the widespread feminid.
India made the feminine fetus abortion illegal in 1994, but the practice remains widespread in the country.
According to the 2011 population measurements, there were 943 females for 1,000 males in India.
According to magistrates, any parent who turns out to have had an abortion based on fetal sex will face legal consequences.
In Indian patriarchal society, male children are viewed as family owners who are obligated to care for their parents when they age.
Girls are viewed as a burden because parents must give money to marry, even though this custom was banned in 1961. /Periscope
