Female Foeticide – The Beginning of Gender Discrimination in the Society

From the ancient literature The Taityerio Brahamano to the recent folk song Vajoigeeti the girls are considered as cursed. Even we hear the blessing like ‘shataputrabativaba’ (mother of hundred boys) but not ‘shataputribativaba’ (mother of hundred daughters). There are some reasons why the sons are preferred over the daughters to the parents. Most of the parents and the families of our society consider their girls as their liability. Female foeticide or gendercide is at an alarming stage in these following countries (according to The view of UNO) - China, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, South Korea, India, Serbia, Belarus, Bosnia, Cyprus, Hong Kong, Singapur. In detail we can say that in the lack of girls, marriage becomes competitive, which also increases marriage expenditure. As a result the Taiwan starts savings. That savings increases the investment. According to Tsang Jin Oye and Jiya Obo Jhang China had also adopted the same policy.
