In India, doctors are not allowed to determine the sex of the child before birth

Indians girls not tsenyat



In India, historically, that the birth of a son is more preferable than the birth of her daughter, and in the higher social classes of preference in favor of boys appears much stronger than among the poor. The ratio of men and women in the Indian society is heavily weighted in favor of men, despite the authorities' efforts to level the balance.

Because of this ratio in India there was a law forbidding doctors to determine the sex of the unborn child in the womb. It is hoped that parents, not knowing exactly sex of their unborn baby, do not interrupt pregnancy and convey the girl to term, thereby leveling the balance.

However, despite the risks, many doctors continue to offer services to determine the sex of the child. For many doctors charge for similar services outweigh the risk of getting caught and punished by the government.

The actual extent of violations of the law are unknown, but it is believed that this practice is very common. Wake early sex determination and abortion in India costs more than $ 100 million.
