Often articles and editorials are
written on sex selective abortion that prevails not only in India but, also in countries where the Asian population lives. Laws and
their strict enforcement alone will
never succeed in stopping the sex selective abortions . Several surveys have
conveyed that it prevails more among the educated and affluent families because,
the poor can not afford to avail the sex determination test through
various methods , if it is banned in a country. The mind set of
couples towards girl children will change only when a society reaches a stage wherein
the boys and girls enjoy not only equal rights but also bear equal
responsibilities. If the girls are allowed to enjoy only the rights and will
not bear the duties towards their families, the gender bias of opposite type will set in. It may take a longer
time to reach that stage of equal status to boys and girls in every aspect of life.
But
,that alone can provide a permanent solution to the problem of sex selective abortions.
