I read a thread on the relates topic where most of the people presented Harrowing statistics, stressing the need to prevent female feticide by giving the consolation like describing achievements made by females. Some described celebrations at the time of birth of girl child as a great move. However, nobody tried to go to the root cause of the problem. First of all, why parents dislike having a girl child and why yearn for male child must be known. I think there would be any parents in the world, who would change their mind-set against the girl child, just by knowing some superficial financial aid or scheme provided by the Govt. for the girl child. Further, No level of advertisement or glorious representation of some female achievers shall bring any change to the situation. We must know why the parents are so much frightened to rear a girl child.
No sooner the birth of a girl takes place; parent’s gets agonized about the safety and marriage of their daughter. Even, when the sex ratio is so skewed, still the parents of girl find it difficult to arrange the marriage of their daughters. Nobody wants to throw his daughter to some unemployed loafer. And a well qualified, govt officer groom expects too much, such as beauty, good education as well as hefty and respectable dowry. If a boy does not get married due to non availability of a match, it does not matter much. But, a young and mature girl cannot be left unmarried by their parents for long. Therefore, there is more pressure on the parents of girl child. Suppose your daughter could not do well with the studies. Suppose your daughter is very intelligent and did well in education, but she did not get a good job. Even if, she get a good job, she is not beautiful. Suppose everything is fine, and you do get a good match of a govt. officer, but you do not have enough money to buy him with a SKODA Rapid car. Further, these gifts continue throughout the life. It would become hellish to get your daughter married!
Further, the security of girl is also a major issue. Today, the situation is so bad that parents have to escort their daughter to every where, from school, college, friends place etc. etc. Same problem is not faced by the parents of Son. There is no dearth of cases, where the father of a daughter is killed when he protested eve teasing or molesting of his daughter. Further, today in the name of modernization, there are so many bad influences on the children and if a girl child get wayward, the parents shall not be able to bear this shock. Today, there is a valentine day which nobody can stop. This valentine day gives the goons a license to chase girl, express their love by molesting the girls on the street even rape someone. If somebody protests, he is termed as Old fashioned, conservative, moral police by the media. This is also a peculiar problem with the girls only. Because girls get raped and boys rapes. If somebody’s son gets affected by the bad company, goes to prostitutes and drinks liquor or smoke, it shall be considered normal and acceptable. At the most, people shall keep only nominal social relation with that person. But what if a daughter goes with the boys, drinks and raped, would the society accept that! How such parents shall be able to make eye contact in the society? No example of female achievers could dilute these issues. Because, those female achievers belongs to elite class and do not have to face problems often occuring to common people. No goon could put a glance on PRIYANKA Gandhi.
