Even after many years of independence, there are still some social evils like false superstitions, ignorance, superstitions in our society, which is a kind of great decay of the society. It tries to hinder the development of the country indirectly. High-level discrimination, untouchability-exploitation, gender inequality, dowry and abortion - these social evils have been ingrained in our country for many years. Gradually the incidence of such vices is increasing, which is a serious matter for us.
The number of couples performing abortions on the pretext that the fetus is female is increasing day by day. Even doctors do not hesitate to commit such heinous acts in the lure of financial gain. Abortion is mostly done by daughters, so the rate of female births is decreasing day by day. According to the 2001 census, the sex ratio is 933: 1000. These figures clearly show that there are 933 females per 1000 males. This figure is much lower than in 2008. At present the ratio is approximately 833: 1000. The number of women has dropped by 100 in the last seven years alone, which is very worrying.
Even today, our patriarchal culture does not erase the distinction between sons and daughters. The young woman is forced to have an abortion as soon as she finds out she has a daughter. In some cases, due to the insistence of the members of the household, even if the woman does not want to, she is forced to undergo abortion. The craze of son birth so that he will be a support of old age, will be able to continue his hierarchy, the son must be in a ritual like the final action. There are beliefs that a daughter cannot donate. Daughters are not seen as contributors to their family income, they are considered an economic and social burden. It is considered the weight of a snake and a par key deposit. Curiosities like dowry system that have entered the society also make a woman a burden for her parents. In addition, due to the worries of the daughter's character, marriage worries, etc., there is a difference in the birth of a son-daughter. All of these factors are currently responsible for female genital mutilation.
Gender inequality has reached a climax in today's society. If the boy is a little less educated, it is not possible for a boy who is not in a good financial position to meet a girl. This situation will lead to incidents of abduction of women, escape of daughters, interracial marriages, incidents of rape. From various social problems like harassment, sexual abuse, exploitation, issues of infertile men etc. The state of society will become pathetic. The marriage institutions created by the society will be hit hard. Marriages will break down. Social problems will disintegrate the society, which will cause great damage to the country.
In society, woman is not weak, but man is equal. He is ready to defeat men in every field. We, as sensible citizens, have to accept that the society should continue to realize such things. NGOs in the society should carry out such activities. Laws for sexual testing for doctors should be strictly enforced. Only such active efforts will reduce the rate of female abortion. For this, 'Save Betty' campaign should also be run, which will create awareness in the society.
