According to the 2011 census, there are about 110 boys behind 100 girls. This shows that we have ruined the gender balance in our country. We can hold the government, NGOs or society as a whole accountable for anything we want, but until the common man understands the value of a girl, this problem will not be solved. The people of this country need to understand that every action has a reaction. Due to endemic female feticide, the demand for girls for marriage has increased throughout the country. For this reason, the meat trade has increased. One way or another, it is the woman who suffers. We need to understand the importance of a woman. After all, they make up half of society. They should receive the same preference and respect that a man receives in society. Secondary causes of the female fetus in India are as follows: In 2004, Congress passed the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, which recognizes the “child in utero” as a legal victim if injured or killed while committing one of the 68 existing federal violent crimes.
These crimes include certain acts that are federal crimes, regardless of where they occur (e.g., certain acts of terrorism), crimes in federal jurisdictions, crimes within the military system, crimes involving certain federal public servants, and other special cases. The law defines “child in utero” as “a member of the species Homo sapiens, at any stage of development, carried into the womb.” This federal law (as well as many similar state laws, such as California`s) does not require proof that the person accused of the crime actually knew the woman was pregnant when the crime was committed. [4] The debate on the rights of the fetus is not new in legislation. At each session, pro-life and pro-choice advocates receive support for policies on the subject. The debate on “fetal homicide” revolves around the issue of fetuses killed by acts of violence against pregnant women. Pro-life advocates generally support laws that define the fetus as a person under fetal slaughter laws or confer rights or protection on the fetus or unborn child. Frequent references to these laws are the Fetus Protection Act, the Unborn Victims of Violence Act and the Unborn Victims of Violence Act. Those who support these laws say that the life of the pregnant woman and the fetus should be explicitly protected. They argue that fetal murder laws rightly criminalize these cases and appeal to both unborn children and their mothers. The Mumbai Supreme Court has ruled that prenatal sex determination involves the female fetus. Sex determination violated a woman`s right to live and violated the Indian Constitution. [10] Classical economic theory views the marriage market as a market in which people negotiate for a spouse who maximizes their marriage advantage.
[39] In India, many of these bargains take place within the family and, as a result, the individual benefit is replaced by the family benefit. In this marriage market, men and their families try to maximize their benefits, which creates supply and demand for wives. [31] However, the female fetus and a high male-to-female ratio have a high impact on this market. Dharma Kumar argues that “sex selection at conception will reduce the supply of women, they will become more valuable and girls will be better cared for and live longer.” [40] In the graph, this is represented by the shift of the supply curve to the left and the subsequent decrease in the number of women from Q1 to Q2 and the increase in their value from P1 to P2. However, this model does not work for the situation in India, as it does not take into account the common act of men who import wives from other regions. [41] A low supply of women leads men and their families to exchange with women from other regions and leads to an increase in violence and sexual abuse against women and children, an increase in child marriage, and an increase in maternal deaths due to forced abortions and early marriages. [41] This leads to the devaluation of women instead of the presumed effect of an increase in value. These heinous murders of the girl are advocated for two main reasons. One of them is the culture of preferences. Many researchers believe that the female fetus takes place due to the preference of a male child.
They are preferred because they do manual work, are the breadwinners of the family and follow the family lineage. Selective abortion of a girl is most common in regions where the cultural norm places a male child above a female child. In a family, the son is always considered an “asset” and the daughter is considered a “passive”. Febricide is derived from two constitutive Latin roots. Fetus, which means child, is an alternative form of fetus that comes from the writings of Isidorus, who preferred oe “I appreciate” as opposed to feo “I testify” because of its association with foveo. [2] The fetus is composed of the suffix -cide, caedere, “cut, kill”. See also Murder, genocide, infanticide, matricide and murder of King. Illegal abortion can be considered “febricide”. [8] I read the story of a girl who went to a village in Haryana and spoke to the villagers to help them understand how important it is to finish the female fetus. She realized that the villagers, both men and women, agreed that a son was much more preferred. They believe that without men or sons, there would be no one to take care of the family, pass on the family name, perform special rituals, or protect the family lineage.
When I read this story, it was hard to imagine how it really happens and how girls are constantly seen as less than men by both men and women. Without mothers or wombs giving birth to a child (male or female), there would be fewer births, leading to a rapid decline in the country`s population. Although population control is the goal of many countries such as China and India, total extinction of one sex is certainly not the way to achieve this goal. The female fetus in India (Hindi: भ्रूण हत्या, romanized: bhrūṇ-hatyā, lit. “febricide”) is the abortion of a female fetus outside of legal methods. A Pew Research Center study based on union government data shows that the fetus of at least 9 million women in 2000-2019. The study found that 86.7% of these fetintides came from Hindus (80% of the population), followed by Sikhs (1.7% of the population) with 4.9% and Muslims (14% of the population) with 6.6%. Research has also shown a general decline in preference for wires during this period. [1] Neb. Rev.
Stat. § 28-388 ff. create the law on the murder of the unborn child. The law defines the intention and the unborn child. The law defines the murder of an unborn child of the first degree, the murder of the second degree, manslaughter and murder in a car. The Act was amended in 2003 to amend the provisions on driving under the influence of motor vehicles and to amend the provisions on the killing of motor vehicles. Provides for a penalty for the murder of an unborn child by motor vehicles and recognizes legal action for an unborn child in the event of an unlawful death. Neb. Rev. Stat.
§ 28-394, which defines the murder of an unborn child by a motor vehicle, was amended in 2011 by LB 667 to specify that the murder of an unborn child by a motor vehicle is treated as a separate and independent crime. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 28-395 ff. create the law on the aggression of the unborn child. The law defines the bodily harm of the unborn child in the first, second and third degrees. Neb.
Rev. Stat. § 60-6,198 stipulates that any person who inflicts serious bodily harm on another person or an unborn child of a pregnant woman while driving a motor vehicle is guilty of a Class IIIA crime and sets penalties. The penalty for foetalide and infanticide is a prison sentence of up to 10 years and/or a fine.1 Central and state governments have launched a number of social assistance programs for girls to change social attitudes toward girls and for their elevation. Here are some of these schemes: Del. Code Ann. § 11-5-605 alleges the abuse of a second-degree pregnant woman. The abuse of a second-degree pregnant woman is a Class C crime. Charges are laid when a person causes the involuntary termination of a pregnancy while committing or attempting to commit a third-degree attack or violent crime. Prosecution under this section does not exclude prosecution under any other section of the Delaware Code. Abuse of a second-degree pregnant woman is a Class C. Montana Code Ann.
§ 45-5-116 defines “harm to someone else`s fetus” and provides exceptions to this crime that include groups such as a woman in relation to her fetus, a provider performing an abortion, and a provider performing other authorized medical procedures.
