Read the text given below and write your opinion. '' In India, 103 female babies are born as against 100 male babies. However, more female babies die than the male babies. The census shows that in the age group 0-5 years, the number of girls who survive is much lower than boys. This can only happen if there is some discrimination in their care and nutrition because otherwise the physical chance of survival is better for girls. ''

Answer»

More female babies are born, yet at the age of 0- 5 years the number of girls who survive is much lower than boys. 

The following reasons give us why the sex ratio has been declining.

  1.  Most of the women are illiterate, so they are unable to realise the importance of a girl child. 
  2.  Most of the families in India are patriarchal, so men dominate the women and force them to abort against for a girl child. 
  3.  Most of the families give importance for a boy child to increase their clan. 
  4.  Even though they have high income, parents give less importance for girl child in all spheres.
