Abstract | Every new born baby is God’s opinion that the WORLD should go on” – Carl Sandburg Women are facing atrocities all over the world. But one of the most brutal of them al is female foeticide where the foetus is killed in the mothers‟ womb only for being a female, even before they have the opportunity to be born. Female feticide is the selective abortion of female foetuses in a patriarchal form of society, Females not only faces inequality in all the male dominant cultures but now they are even denied the right to be born. “Earlier it was difficult to determine the sex of the foetus in the womb so after the birth of the child when found it to be a girl child then she was drowned in the milk mixed with opium but with the innovation Prenatal sex detection technologies have made it easier to determine the sex in the womb of the mother itself and now this technique has been completely misused, allowing the selective abortions of female and letting offspring to flourish through male children. Legally, however, female feticide is a penal offence. Although female infanticide has long been committed in India, feticide is a relatively new practice, emerging concurrently with the advent of technological advancements in prenatal sex determination on a large scale in the 1990s |
