State and explain the reasons for preference of male children by Indians.

Answer»

Preference for a male child: The Indian society is dominated by males.

Indians give more importance to sons than daughters for the following three reasons:

  • People believe that male child can make the family tree grow further.
  • People believe male child will support them financially during old age.
  • Due to these reasons people keep on trying for a male child unless they get one. This mad rush increases the family size and hence the birth-rate.
