Indian radiologists wrestle with law to prevent imaging-based sex-selective abortions The abortion of female fetuses has proved to be such a problem in India that the government has enacted laws prohibiting radiologists from informing would-be parents of the gender of the fetus, something that is easily found with ultrasound scans. There has been no organized opposition from Indian radiologists, indeed, the president of the Indian Radiological and Imaging Association backed the intent of the law in his inaugural speech, but a host of issues have stymied the implementation and created bureaucratic tangles for radiologists. from Diagnostic Imaging.com

It's about time! We had that issue here in our Indo-Canadian community a while back.

In China it was the Government making life miserable. In India, it is tradition.

Males carry on the family name, work the family business, and are social security for the parents. The two most notable areas of female infanticide are China and India. Female infanticide reflects the low status accorded to women in many parts of the world; it is arguably the most brutal and destructive manifestation of the anti-female bias that pervades "patriarchal" societies. It includes sex-selective abortion, which targets female fetuses almost exclusively, and neglect of girl children.

They also practise the dowry system over there (and here) still, too, which means that a bride comes with money from the family.
