Indeed, in India there are 37 million more boys than girls. We can see twelve million of abortions of females feotuses during three decades
The law of nineteen ninety four forbid the prenatal diagnosis for know the sex of the feotus but it isn't respected and be a baby girl in India is a liability.
Women are under the care of their husband all their life, the preference of male is the rule. In the india costums, man is prefer compared to girl because he give the family name's and he can win money and take care of their olds parents whereas girls leave their family to marry and the parents paid the dowry to the parents in law.
The law of rape in the penal code is a historical law. It is complete because it includes all the forms of violences. It'is a good law however after a year, rapes persist and they increases
A lot of rape have been perpetrate on account of due to the smaller number of girls than boys in the country. Female feticide and female infanticide are the reason.
The law of 1994 forbid the ultrasounds and the abortions to a selective goal but it isn't used, for exemple, a lot of doctors carry on to flout the law : they designed the sex of baby with a code language (one finger for boy , tow fingers for a girl). Those practises have sentences.
