It was almost the same thing in Brazil , cause here we had and we still having a sexist thinking that the woman just have to clean the house ,cook , take care of children and things like this. But woman are making their space bigger at labor market and other things that they couldn't do a few years ago. But we don't choose the sex of our child, and this is a stupid culture there.
I agree this doesn't happen in all India, especially with people where the woman is better educate and maybe become a professional, this should be encouraged to them and no one could prohibit them from doing this. But i can't agree with the dowry and the abortion just because they are woman. Aborting is one of the most sad thing in the world , and they do a abort for a such ignorant thought, but in anyway this could happen. The government should apply strong penalties for those man.
I couldn't live in a country like this, normaly I didn't like the India's culture, and now I like it even less. I dont agree in anyway what they do with the body of people dead, the garbage in the streets, I know there is a lot of people , but I also think they don't care about this little things.
