There was documentary on Australian TV about that particular social evil in India.
Girl is not wanted as a child, there for it is aborted or abandoned at birth. The problem lies within the expectations that one day her family will have to provide a hefty dowry for the groom. It is not enough that he is getting a life long slave to him and his family...............this gets me mad. I have three girls and they are quite capable of providing for themselves, and their husbands are lucky and happy to have them and nothing else except for what we wont to give as a gift
Nice poem Ritty. More people should become active and try to abolish this ancient tradition, as it was abolished in many other places around the world
