We are still primitive...

I very much doubt it was her choice but some women do really believe in that stuff so you never know.

@Mike197602 This is what many Chinese women did during the "one child" times and now China lacks women.

@LadyDuck I knew about selective abortion I just didn't know it was an issue here but it is. The annoying thing there is little one person can do and as a male there is some push back from a certain group. I've just sent an email to my MP so we'll see if I get anything back.

@Mike197602 Yes I agree with you..good idea if you make a discussion.

Yeah and genital mutilation too..even over here Mike..no one stops it.

@RebeccasFarm It's abbreviated as FGM here in the UK and there is a major awareness of it and it's a thing in the CPS which is like your DA and hospitals are trained to recognise it as are social service departments. It happens and again the race thing is an issue in my opinion. I could say loads about this issue but generally I'd be labelled far right or alt right when I am not either of those things I'm centre right and far left in some ways I might do a discussion on political persuasions as we've now got a pretty fair admin.

Yes, it is very disturbing. I don't how know how they thought of killing a baby.

@RebeccasFarm 4 months baby is almost developed and aborting it means you are killing someone.

@sjvg1976 Like it is nothing so wrong

And it's an offence here but still, people do it by bribing doctors.

@sjvg1976 that child was given to them by God. that is so sad

@rakski Yes that is sad.

@Sojourn Unfortunately many doctors still manage to do it illegally. Or some people even go to Bangkok or other places to get it checked. And those getting it done are mostly educated folks!

There are lots of greedy doctors here, who take money to carry out abortions. There are technicians who conduct prenatal test by getting bribe. He spent total of 45000 INR for the whole process.

@sjvg1976 Report it to the police and see what happens.

I also don't understand why people have such thinking.

@Jude07 Abortion is not legal if it's done after s@x determination.

Is abortion still legal in your place?

It's very sad.

That's true they have committed it.

Yes it is evil

I don't know what they are going to do in the future if they don't have a son.

Yes it is.

Yes they don't want another daughter, they want a male child.

@sjvg1976 Every child is important.

Yes it is horrible.

Yes they should be. That's the major reason that the ratio of males to females here is increasing. This is because of gender discrimination which should be stopped.

@sjvg1976 Gender bais still exists in most parts of India.

I also believe the same.

Yes, it is. But nothing can be done as it their matter.

Yes, that's sad, I am angry with him but I cannot do anything, I can't change his thinking.

I also wish the mentality of people change in the future.

The husband and his family here ask for a dowry when they marry their girl which is banned but still people ask for it.

@CarolDM that's true but bad customs are not good.

@sjvg1976 We all have different customs.

We have lots of obligations here in India. Here there is dowry system which make people to think not having a girl child. Also, fickle-minded people think their family tree will stop if they don't have a son.

@jefferson126 It looks like India and China have the same thinking.

@sjvg1976 ,very much rural family think the same thing that their family tree will cut off without a son,they hope son to extend own family.But a daughter will marry to other familys and become a member of other familys.This is why they want son more than daughter.
