And female infanticide or female neonaticide is very common in India.
And infanticide is when you kill a child that is less than one year old.
Neonaticide is, I believe, less than one month or two months old.
Now the reason why they will kill their daughters when they're born
is because the dowry, I mean the primary reason, the dowry is passed upon
the woman's family as opposed to the man's family.
So it is a financial burden to have a daughter as opposed to a son in India.
I also saw a documentary on this in India and this woman just matter-of-factly talks about how
she had killed like seven of her daughters and just thrown them in the backyard.
Because it's like we want a male child because we can't afford to have female children.
Well then quit having children, whatever!
Rather than having children and killing them, it's like what is wrong with you?
And of course I believe what the Bible says, be fruitful, multiply, but it's like
if you're gonna kill the children, if they don't end up the gender you want,
then just quit having children, whatever!
