In most societies across world, Father and son barely speak to each other. Hence it's highly unlikely that they will team together to push a daughter-in-law or any woman kill the unborn daughter.

I wouldn’t have said this, unless I was convinced that what I’m saying is not some blatant Generalization (I hate generalizations, like ‘All politicians are corrupt’ etc.)

Hence here I Go:

I think, When it comes to female foeticide, a woman is another woman’s biggest Enemy.

Sequence of Events which lead to female foeticide, proves this.

In most societies across world, Father and son barely speak to each other. The communication in this relation is limited to informing about the most important things and the rest of the issues are left non-conveyed.

Hence, when a man decides to kill his unborn daughter in his wife’s womb, he does so when pushed by three events:

1) Man’s Mother tells him to Kill his unborn Daughter: First is his mother asking him to get the foetus aborted if the foetus is a girl. It will amaze some, but women do have the audacity to discuss most personal issues with males. The bond between a Mother and her son is so close that mothers do talk to their sons about things father couldn’t imagine discussing. Hence, it’s the mother who pushes the son to kill his unborn daughter. If she would have raised the issue in the first place. The unborn daughter would never be aborted.

2) Man’s perceptions acquired by him during his growing up years, results in Killing of an unborn Girl Child: In the absence of a mother, if the man is brought up in an atmosphere where Boys are treated better than Girls; then the preoccupations regarding the ‘inequality between a girl and a boy ’ makes the man suggest his wife abort the female foetus.

3) A Girl brought up in a biased way by her mother; when becomes a wife; favors sons: A girl, who is brought up in a discriminatory atmosphere; most of the times by her mother; when becomes a mother herself has bias for a male child. And sometimes, it’s she who aborts her unborn daughter.

I’ll still say, this will appear generalization to some; but just have a close look at the sequences which lead to female foeticide; and you will find a woman playing an important role.

In addition, it's a thing of common observation that whenever mother-in-law, wife or wife's mother; firmly decided to give birth to their daughters; the Girl Child is SAVED.
