The deteriorating sex ratio, infanticide and fetal killing are on the rise. Recent data of 2011 Indicated that only 914.23 girls were born for every 1000 boy’s in the age group 0-6 years compared with 927.31 girls on every 1000 boys n the 2001 Census. Macpherson estimates that 100,000 abortions every year continue to be performed in India solely because the fetus is female. Our cultural beliefs, illiteracy, domestic violence etc society are some after important factors for the deteriorating sex ration.
