A girl child is often a lantern of a home and any attempt to avoid girl child birth is detrimental. In that sense pre-natal sex determination to avoid a girl child is a crime. However Union Minister Maneka Gandhi stresses the need for pre- natal test to ensure birth of girl child. This sort of advice is dangerous to both mother and the child and it is a calculated attempt to help scanning centres.
It is true that in India among a few communities the birth of girl child is thought as bad incident because of dowry and other expenses in future. Even the mother of a girl child is unable to take a decision in her favour in such communities. Awareness campaigns can do a lot in such societies.
The Minister who takes bizarre decisions in issues like stray dog menace and pre-natal test needs good advisers in her office to take practical decisions.
