Description

About The Book: In this book the author discusses the measures taken to suppress the systematic killing of female infants by their parents in India.The custom of female infanticide in India has persisted for centuries, prompting the examination of various measures to address this grave issue. This article delves into the strategies adopted to curb the systematic killing of female infants by their parents, while also shedding light on other distinctive customs prevalent in the Indian society. Among the proposed causes contributing to this phenomenon are poverty, the dowry system, births to unmarried women, deformed infants, famine, inadequate support services, and maternal illnesses such as postpartum depression.
