But individual incidents such as these will happen in a country where it is economically much profitable to have a male child. Millions of mothers have not aborted female fetuses because they hate girls or women, but because they feel they are so desperately poor that a girl child is truly a burden for them. And infanticide/foeticide is just one half of the story. What about the millions of teenaged girls who have been literally sold by their own parents to middlemen, and are then trafficked to end up as wives in the infanticide prone areas (as there are no women there now), or even as maids, labor, sex workers depending on their luck? Yes, the people who force this on their own children have truly a brutal crime, but does not mean that we should not look into the larger picture of how it is actually difficult raising a girl child in India, especially for the poor. I believe they are left with no choice.

n what appears to be a case of gender bias, a young woman in Coimbatore was killed by her husband allegedly for giving birth to a baby girl for the second time.
According to the victim's family members, twenty-year-old Nagadevi delivered a girl baby 40 days ago. This allegedly resulted in her daily harassment by her husband, Pandiarajan, a driver. The couple, who reportedly fell in love and married, already have a one-year-old girl child; but the man wanted a baby boy. On Wednesday, the husband, who is known to be an alcoholic, allegedly kicked the young mother in her stomach. The injury resulted in bleeding and she died in hospital yesterday. Most Recent India considers price controls for patented drugs HDFC Bank overtakes SBI as India's most valued bank Police have arrested her husband of murder and her mother-in-law on charges of abetting murder. The new born girl and her sister Aishwarya are now under the care of their aunt Manjula Devi. The family says they would fight for justice. Manjula says, "This has happened when Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has launched the cradle baby scheme to save the girl child. We need justice". |
