Men have been in power in society since ancient times.  Women are not getting the same rights and importance as men.  She has been a second class citizen.  He has had to become a victim of social oppression and exploitation.  The practice of female slaughter is very old in Indian society.  Girls were killed as soon as they were born.  Presently female feticide is prevalent in the society.

Intent of female feticide

When the child enters the mother's womb, it is called a fetus.  After a few weeks, the sex of the fetus is determined.  It has been considered good to give birth to a child in India since a very old time.

People are keen to know whether the infant born in the mother's womb is a son or a daughter.  Those who do not want to give birth to a daughter, get the miscarriage done before time.  This is called female feticide.

Cause of female feticide

The reason for female feticide is not to accept the dignified presence of the woman in society.  There were many obstacles in the marriage of the daughter due to the conceit of superiority in the dynasties.  Some powerful kings used to kidnap someone's daughter.

This led to loss of life and loss of life.  Nowadays the daughter's marriage is a cause of great trouble.  Due to the prevailing dowry in the society, the marriage of a daughter has become a terrible problem.  To avoid all these crises, this bad practice has started in the society.

Misuse of science

This is an era of science.  Due to the latest inventions of science, in which ultrasound is important, it has become easier to find out the sex of the fetus.  People get miscarried as soon as it is known that the female fetus is growing in the mother's womb.  Abortion has also become easier due to new technology.  Some greedy and corrupt ultrasound and doctors are engaged in improper work of female feticide.

Prevention Measures-

Although abortion is permitted under certain circumstances, abortion falls under the category of crime.  The abortion of a virgin is a social and statutory offense.  Due to this, the gender balance of the man and woman in the society is affected without any reason.

In India, the number of women in the states of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, etc. is less than men.  This causes problems in marriages of boys and also increases crime.  There is a law to prevent female feticide, it needs to be made more stringent.  It is also necessary to eradicate this evil by making people aware.

Epilogue-

Life is a gift of God.  To destroy it is a sin.  Female feticide is immoral, irreligious and inhuman.  It is also illegal.  A daughter has the right to be born and live the same way as a son.  It is a high human duty to save the society from this evil practice.

This hate crime appears to be declining due to the rigid attitude and awareness of the government.  Public movement like Beti Bachao - Beti Padhao and the challenging role of girls in every field are making remarkable contribution in ending this superstition.
