How would it feel to know that when she was born, people told her parents that it was their bad karma?
How would it feel that people told her family they were unlucky?
How would it feel that the girl who’s given you so much of love, was told upon her birth that a son should have been born?
How would it feel that lavish celebrations weren’t held after her birth just because of her gender?
How would it feel that her grandparents gave preference to her uncle and aunt because they gave birth to a boy?
How would it feel to know that she gave you so much of happiness, but her own arrival on earth wasn’t celebrated?
It doesn’t make any family inferior, if they have a girl instead of a boy. Yet, there is clearly a partiality if a boy is born. If data on abortions is made public, we’ll be shocked to know names of some prominent people who killed their child simply because it was a female.
More than caring for whether it’s a boy or a girl, what matters is how you raise the child. Not all sons care for their parents in old age. Not all daughters are victim of abuse and as honest as they pretend to be.
