SCENARIO IN INDIA
REASONS
POVERTY:
Extreme poverty with an inability to afford raising a
child is one of the reasons given for female infanticide
in India.
INDIAN CULTURE:
The dowry system in India is another reason that is
given for female infanticide. Although India has taken
steps to abolish the dowry system , the practice
persists, and for poorer families in rural regions
female infanticide and gender selective abortion is
attributed to the fear of being unable to raise a
suitable dowry and then being socially ostracised.
ILLITRACY AND LAW EDUCATION LEVEL.
GENDER DISCRIMINATION:
A situation in which someone is treated less
well because of their sex, usually when a
woman is treated less well than a man
(Malnutrition , Poor Health , Lack Of Education
, Unskilled , Mistreatment)
FUTURE SPECULATIONS:
Education , Marriage , Dowry ETC.
Some of the other reasons : are the belief that
it is only the son who can perform the last
rites, lineage and inheritance runs through the
male line, sons will look after parents in old
age, men are bread winners etc.
